Which HDD is the best out of these?

[Joseph692]

Hard Disk desktop SEAGATE BarraCuda, 1TB, 7200 RPM, SATA3, 64MB, ST1000DM010 (altex.ro)

Hard Disk desktop SEAGATE SkyHawk Surveillance 1TB, 5900RPM, SATA3, 64MB, ST1000VX005 (altex.ro)

Hard Disk desktop WD Purple, 1TB, Surveillance, SATA3, 64MB, WD10PURZ (altex.ro)

I would like to upgrade my storage, my current HDD is the same capacity but it`s too sluggish.

 

Also, how many SATA 3 ports are usually on an ATX or mini-ATX mobo? I think I might not have enough.

 

Also which of these SSDs are better:

Solid-State Drive (SSD) ADATA Ultimate SU650, 240GB, SATA3, M.2, ASU650NS38-240GT-C (altex.ro)

Solid-State Drive (SSD) KINGSTON A400, 240GB, SATA3, 2.5", SA400S37/240G (altex.ro)

 

Thanks in advance!

Get like a 2tb barracuda 7200rpm. Like $14 more. I don't know about the bottom two but the barracuda is perfectly good.

ATX has 6 or 8.

Micro-ATX has 4 or 6.

Mini-ITX has 2 or 4.

If the problem is performance, just get a ssd, there much faster and not that much more for 1tb. All 1tb hdds are around the same speed

This HDD that I got back in 2016, but now I need to upgrade my PC, don`t have enough space for all my games. I don`t care for the speed I just needed some space.

Id then get a bigger model, there slightly faster also, id probalby aim for 4tb as games keep getting bigger. How about a 4tb barracuda or wd blue.

 

For ssds, those are a simmilar class of drives, both are dramless sata drives, so get what is cheaper.

So what`s the best cheapest dram SSD that I could get. I am only planning on using the SSD for the OS, Steam, Discord and other programs that I need at startup.

For the os, those drives will work fine, you won't need dram for a basic os drive. Id get the cheaper of those two.

Okay then, thank you so much for the help, I really appreciate this!

For the hard drive the top option should be fine. As for the SSD, can you spend a little bit more? I would try to find a drive with a DRAM cache. The SU650 is a decent drive, but it can get very slow at times.

I`ll look into it, thanks!

No problem. If you can't find a better one for a decent price then don't worry about it that much. I don't mean to say that the SU650 is a bad drive, it's decent for the price. 

[Joseph692]

Yeah, where I live, the prices could be 20-40% higher than in the states
