Posted October 14, 2020 So on my machine I'm running out of storage, and with the great timing of amazon prime day I decided to upgrade my storage for more games. So is the Seagate BarraCuda 4TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch Sata 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 256MB Cache (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D9C7SQH/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_jXLHFb4A3G602) a good choice? I know that it's best to get at least 7200 RPM but I heard there is more to the drive than RPM. I just need more for games and VM's and all that. Since it's the same size as the 2 TB but had double the storage but spins slower will I see any difference really? Also on top of this I need a 6TB backup drive because well... I have a 2TB backup drive and I have 3.5 TB of storage and with compression I'm running out of space. And putting a 4 TB in the system to replace a 750 GB drive (No more drive room so it has to be replaced) Well my backup drive won't hold that much. So is this a good 6 TB drive for prime day or is there one better?: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CX8QBG4/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_o1LHFbAA3W4FE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooo would it be better to get a different one off ebay as long as it's new like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Western-Digital-RE-WD4000FYYZ-4TB-7200-RPM-64MB-Cache-SATA-6Gb-s-3-5-Hard-Drive/113311910390?epid=129449808&hash=item1a61ea89f6:g:DQAAAOSw-pBe~-pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not in a hurry just wait a few weeks for Black Friday.
