Hi All
I've been doing some digging into what would be a good replacement WD 2TB Black which is starting to get bad sectors.This drive is used for excessively sized applications/games that dont fit on my boot drive. I was thinking about just getting another, perhapse 4tb instead, however I've found for not much more I could get a 2TB SSD. This would allow me to get that lovely SSD performance boost and maybe? better reliability.
However this is where I am not sure as the info out there is mixed. What I wan above all else is reliability. I have backups, however they are partial as I dont want to pay to store my software + I dont have enough excess storage to backup images locally. Therefore when the drive is corrupt there is a process of cateloging what I'm loosing, restoring files from backups and re-downloading software. Therefore I would really like a drive that will last as long as possible so I can avoid this annoying restore process.
Out of the following drives, which would likely last longer:
Crucial MX500 2TB SATA 2.5" 7mm SSD
Samsung 860 EVO Series 2.5" 7mm 2TB SSD
Seagate Barracuda 120 2.5" 2TB SATA SSD
WD Black WD4005FZBX 3.5" 4TB 256MB 7200RPM Desktop HDD
OR what are the HDD's you all would recomend for daily use that is mostly read + storage? The above is just at my local shop which makes it easier for me
Thanks in advance!
