Why is pic related the best HDD?
Why is pic related the best HDD?
>130MB/s
>noisy
Not complaining since I got it for $20, but my Seagates shit on it.
Nothing is noisy about it. You simply must have a faulty one, friend!
>not WD1003FZEX
ayyykek
Why are you shilling an EOL drive?
Clearance.
>FZEX my nigga
>500GB is $80
is there any reason to get black over blue these days?
>Blacked
(((They))) are really subtle these days eh?
Might as well just get a SSD at that price.
Well, the Blues over 1TB are the new Green. 5400RPM pieces of shit. The entire line will probably migrate when the EZEX EOL's.
i already have 750GB of SSD storage
i literally JUST need to replace an old HDD
and a 500GB SSD would cost $200
>and a 500GB SSD would cost $200
lol
My 1700 days on 1TB WD black is still alive and well
But its slow and noisy as fuck, yeah
Barely 90mb/s when the 1TB shitgate I use for backups get 230
If I need more storage some day I'm going HGST
If you're looking for 1TB, Seagate SD1000DM003 or Blue.
Everyone shits on Seagate as being bad, but the I have 2x 1TB barracuda drives that have both seen easily 20TB of data written to them. They're quiet, run cool, and were $10 cheaper than even the shit tier WD greens.
Toshiba X300 drives also aren't terrible. Have 2x4TB X300s in my media server. $110 for a 128MB cache, 7200rpm 4TB drive is a great deal. Their 6TB drives are coming down too. Going to get 2 6TB drives when they hit $160 a piece.
my 640GB black from 2009 JUST started making noises few days ago
backed up stuff immediately this time
all that is left is steam games that can be re-acquired any time
>perfect
>makes grinding noise when accessing it
I have a Seagate Barracuda 500gb
How fucked i am?
I have it. It's too small.
How would we know?
I have a Hitachi deskstar 40gb Sata from 2005 with 8 years of run time and it works perfectly fine. Hard drives now a days are made to die fast.
The term for it is "planned obsolescence".
Noisy as fuck. I don't like it.
Been using the same WD Blue for a bit now.
Still running strong.
>giving a fuck about HDD, when SSD got cheap as hell, even in Pooland, where we have 23% VAT.
(250 PLN is approx 65 USD.)
Because it's not seagate
>DYSK
I know, that phrase "dysk SSD" is actually not correct, but it is commonly used.
how many zlotys for your sister?
3 zywiec piwo my friend
>seagate
>EOL
Explain.
Also it was only noisy for me at the very beginning when I had just finished transferring all my files. It winded down after a couple of days. Very rarely does it make enough noise to be consciously audible.
Exactly. That's a shit and unjustifiable factor.
The FAEX is from 2010. It's EOL.
Noisy seeks are noisy seeks. There's no way I could use mine as a main seeding drive. I pack it with ISOs that don't see much action.
>3 zywiec piwo
here you go my polish friend, send your sister on express mail
>WD
enjoy your NSA backdoor
My bad. Most of the WD Blacks being sold belong to the FZEX family, like mine, which is 25-45% faster than the FAEX family and much more durable/reliable. Not sure about noise.
Because unless they fucked in the factory WDs are very hard to kill. I accidentally knocked an old wd 120gb off my desk and onto a concrete floor. It was bare and powered on, transferring files. It died a year later. That was the only WD I've owned that died.
