It's a Seagate Backup Plus 3TB. I believe Newegg had it on sale for $100 when I picked it up. Been using it for maybe 3 months now. So far so good.
The drive seems to have no problem spinning down. But I typically unmount and unplug when I'm not using it, just to be on the safe side.
I also looked into NAS, which is what I originally wanted to go with. But my concern was none of the cheap ones seemed capable or fast enough to do encryption.
