WD Red 4TB GIVEAWAY!

[cjkicker]

I run a trow it together desktop, with a 160gb WD boot drive pulled from a Dell computer and a 320gb WD blue mass storage and pulled from a Dell as well, both in which in ide mode. I have the slow 160gb boot drive because i don't have any other way of storing my files to re-install windows 7 to the 320gb drive, than a 320gb for Steam library's, music, pictures and 3d modeling files. It gets the job done right the first time no complaint.

I am using a Samsung 840 500GB SSD as my Operating System/Steam drive, and a Western Digital 2TB Black as my storage. I like this configuration because of the speed of the SSD and the size of the HDD, why I chose this setup was from reading and watching reviews on the products, and I love it.

[astr33tcone]

At the moment I have a Corsair Force GT 120GB, a 2TB Seagate something or other, I had a 500GB WD Blue, but it died for some reason, and a WD 320GB Blue but im in the procces of recovering the partition table, cuz it died when the 500GB did.

 

P.S. both the 500GB and the 320GB were in the same laptop, when the laptop died so did the drives.

well i''m upgrading from a Pentium 4 machine and I was using a 70GB sata 150 hdd for games and a 80GB IDE for my os and a 250GB for mass storage(porn). and I ran it because i wanted a computer for gaming and my dads an it guy and has a few old towers and i upgraded it from:

To match the performance of my rig, i purchased a 120gb SSD from OCZ solely for the boot times and snappy desktop performance.  I can load windows along with my main programs that i use on that capacity.  To compensate for the lack of space for gaming, i purchased an external 3tb usb 3.0 hard drive.  I do a bunch of moving around with my external from computer to computer and that was the main reason i bought it.  It has ample space for backups, games, movies, and other programs along with the speed i like (roughly 150mbps avg).  On my home media computer, i put on 3 x 2tb seagate barracudas.  The first for the boot drive and media storage, and the other two in RAID 1 so i can further backup my computers at home.  I bought those three because they were on sale along with a $10 rebate.  They have a bunch of space and very nice performance to accommodate my home media pc.  I hope i followed the correct format as i have more plans for fixing up servers and others to set up for friends and they're short on ca$h for drives.

So here is my set up I got a 256 ocz vertex 4 for boot drive, 1 tb seagate optical of internal storage for games, and a 4tb external seagate backup plus for movies and music. The SSD boot drive gives me awesome start up times and i went with the 1tb because it was a left over from previous computer. The backup plus has all my media on it for going back and forth from college. Psssst Linus i want one of those drives so i can keep media local on my PC help a brother out!

[selfmadelegend]

I run a samsung 840 pro 128gb as a boot drive and to run primary games for quicker loading times and then I run a 1 tb wd black drive for mass storage of currently unused games and miscellaneous programs.

[fezme7]

Its awsome and I hope to win.

 

I have a 750 GB harddrive in my laptop right now. I will love to build a GamingPC but I dont have the money right now, When I do I will probably get a 1 or 2 TB WD Blue with a 250GB Samsung 840 evo SSD. I also have a 500GB Segate Slim external hard drive that I love, its USB 3.0 and super fast and portable.

 

Thank you Mr Linus

1x 160GB OCZ Vertex II SSD

2x 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 

1x 4TB Seagate HDD

 

I started out with just one of the 1TB drives as my boot/storage drive then bought another one once I realized that I needed more space for my games, programs and movies. Used one for boot/programs/games and the other for music/movies/media. My friend upgraded his ssd and sold me his old one for a bargain so that's where the ssd came from and the 4TB Seagate is an external HDD that I got on sale and stripped down to put in my case. So now I'm running boot/programs/games on SSD. Other programs/games/documents on one of the 1TB which along with the SSD backs up to the other 1TB drive. And the 4TB is my movies/media drive now which I really should be backing up...

[Jack L. Samuelsson]

My main rig is running 2 x 128GB Crucial M4 SSDs in RAID0 and a 1TB WD Black. I know running SSDs in RAID0 is a bit overkill, but I was running out of space on my single M4, so why not RAID another for maximum e-peen?

 

I also have a NAS box frankensteined from my old machine, running a 2TB WD Green, 3TB WD Green, and 2 x 3TB WD Red. One drive is for parity so i have a total of 8TB usable.

 

[yodathe3rd]

I run a Sandisk Extreme 240GB for my OS and main games im playing i also run 2 Segate barracuda XT's 1- is a 2TB 7200RPM 64mb and the other is 1-3tb 7200RMP 64mb. Im currently running this setup due to a very large steam library and i also run most of my files in a server configuration for my house that i live in. I would love to upgrade my Segate drives someday to higher capacity drives so the 4tb drives would be awesome since my PC is run around the clock already anyway. 

[wax147]

1. i run 2x OCZ Vertex 4 in RAID 0 for a speedy boot drive, and a Seagate 3TB for media storage, i chose this one because it was on promo for 109$. i dont have any backups for my system, but i also dont have anything sensible in it.

[Xeollron]

Im currently using a WD black 750gb 2.5" in my laptop, with an external  1TB WD passport for overflow/ media and my media is backed up to and iomega NAS with 6 3TB seagate drives, it is in need of Some actual NAS drives that can handle a 6 drive stack, then ill be more comfortable backing up everything to it.

[Bag681]

I run an 840 pro boot drive, a 16gb ramdisk for adobe premier, a 1tb seagate barracuda for mass video storage, and some hitachi P.O.S. as my old mac's backup.

[Jamtgard]

I just completed my first real computer build! For my main rigg i got one corsiar 128gig ssd for adobe and os. And i got 3 wd green 1tb for storage 2 of these is in raid 1 for storing photos. And the other one is for junk and games! I have intention to bild my self a nas so i can store all my photos and inportet stuff on whitout have to worry about losing my data.

Thanks from sweden and by the way i got fractal designs midi arc r2 in my rigg and its the best midsize case ever..

[jasonmaki]

I use a single 1tb harddrive because it was cheap and i needed more memory at the moment i got it

[Tralfaz]

I am running a 120 Gb Corsair Force GT for a boot I got it a couple of years ago because it was on sail and I have a 2tb WD for storage I got a couple of months ago because my other storage drive died

[TheAjaxkiller]

I use a WD Blue 500GB because I got it out of my prebuilt

[User Not Found]

I'm running 1TB WD black for internal storage and some random 2.5" drives laying around for random projects and backups. I picked the Black up from reviews online and the random 2.5" drives are just from dead or old laptops in case I need something with higher cap than a flash drive or something like that. I'm using one for Wii game backups and another for saved steam downloads and the rest are just filled with media and old school stuff.

[AfroParadoX]

I have a 500GB wd blue. It is fast and reliable (not as fast as an ssd) but not enough memory to fit all my steam games in.

[jooney108]

I have 1 x 120gb mushkin ssd for OS, all utilities, and 1~2 games for fast boot-up and better performance overall. For storage, I have 2  x 7 years old 320gb samsung harddrives + 128 gb hard drives from old PC and netbook, because hard drives are STILL so expensive and I cannot afford new ones!!

[umesswitme]

In my main rig I am currently using a 120GB Samsung 840 EVO as my boot drive, my main storage drive for all my games, movies and music is a 1TB Seagate 7200RPM and last but not least is my faithful 80GB Seagate 5400RPM drive that I salvaged from my dead Ps3. I use the 80GB drive mostly for backups of my game profiles and other important stuffs ;-) .

[regnarts]

I actually run two 1TB red drives in my synology. I went with this setup because of you, Linus, recommended for naswhen the red first came out. Now u need more space and these would be nice.

[Gladiateduke]

1. I am currently running a 256GB crucial ssd and a WD green 1TB drive. I chose the ssd for its speed. I wanted minimal loading times for my programs and my games. I use my 1TB drive for mass storage.
