  1. Personally I went with the red pro because you get 5 year warranty. Its a good drive I just installed it in my sistem and it is very quiet A small tip if buy it from newegg and you pay with PayPal you might qualify for PayPal credit and PayPal will give you 50 dollars for filling out the application. I bought a 14 gig drive for 195 dollars. ( wont ever use it again but its 50 dollars) What is your budget? I would go with the WD red pro do to its price Bellow I will post some quotes from other members and there opinions they gave me. Hope it helps

  6. How much does HDD Cache count? 256 is less than 512MB but how much does that really matter in the real world use?

  9. "WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda," ^ I have also found that and I was confused I have been using a 6 TB WD blue drive for 5 years now .. https://prnt.sc/WIIWKR1hYYOO ^ its a bit slow but it gets the job done.. Blue drives dont support RAID do they ? I was told that they dont but idk if thats true
  10. Thank you for the link. Honestly I think will have it connected to my pc most of the time. I was thinking about using the built in windows backup tool. I was also looking at https://www.newegg.com/blue-wd80eazz-8tb/p/N82E16822234496?Description=wd blue&cm_re=wd_blue-_-22-234-496-_-Product but I was told that its not a good drive for storage. but again I have very little knowledge, thats why I am here
  11. Hello all Im looking for some advice I am trying to buy a good hdd to back up my important files but I know almost nothing about hdd's. Is this a good hard drive or is it over kill? https://www.newegg.com/gold-wd8004fryz-8tb/p/1Z4-0002-013V6 Im not sure what I should be looking for. Thanks
  12. Hello all I have been wanting to do this for very long time, and have found people that told showed the power of VM machines as well as told me about the flexibility of having one. So I would like to create / set up a virtual machine where I can run my programs. So my vm would be my work station and my installation of windows would be my personal machine where I can game and brows the net.. You're probably asking why not just install it on the man machine? I have ran in to problems with that... One of them, sometimes when you uninstall a Adobe program and want to install it again it let you but the program wont open or it wont let you install it again.... YaY cant wait to reformat my drive and start all over ... Anyway... Can someone help me or guide me in the right path to create a virtual machine that can do that? I am using VMware and I noticed that I am limited and I know there's a way to let the VM use your GPU and memory but I have no idea how to go about it yet.. Yes I am trying to run Windows vm inside of windows and yes I know could do that in linux but I think that thats another level of know how .. I have 2 graphics cards so perhaps I can use 1 for my VM? Can anyone help? Thanks
  13. Thanks guys thats really helpful How do you guys feel about those drives? https://www.newegg.com/gold-wd8004fryz-8tb/p/1Z4-0002-013V6 https://www.newegg.com/gold-wd8003fryz-8tb/p/N82E16822232558?Description=WD Gold.&cm_re=WD_Gold.-_-22-232-558-_-Product
