What is best for GeForce experience a.k.a. NVIDIA Container ?

[Yohelpmedogimlost]

So I always have the NVIDIA recording on a separate hard drive (ST32000644NS)

This one is making so much noise and its coming all because of vibration transferred into the metal

It has a lot of dampening from rubber screws into plastic brackets that are attached with paper isolation into the case

Nothing helps 

And occasionally I don't know how but it gets to 62-64 degrees Celsius (143-147F) which is above it should be. 

It sits in the front bay with normally enough airflow as other ones have like 35-36 degrees Celsius (95-98F)

 

I would like to know about some alternatives to this HDD, maybe I don't need a NAS drive for this purpose, but I don't think any NAS dirve could be this bad as this one

 

If someone is interested in some statistics I uploaded an image

I'll just start with saying that drive realistically isn't actually getting that hot if it has any active airflow over it.

 

If you use it for games and don't mind taking a little bit of a performance hit, you could always get something like a SkyHawk. They're 5900RPM instead of 7200 which should help with vibration, while also being just a teeeeeensy bit faster than 5400.

 

Something I would also keep in mind is that in my experience, Seagate's desktop drives are pretty much always smoother running and generally just quieter than WD, given they're the same on paper.

Hi 

This is a Seagate drive. Idk how much bandwith I need, is there a soft to measure how much is the real time usage of the drive?

This is like a constant video stream and a lag caused by the drive would be bad.

And also I noticed that sometimes the recording stops without me doing something so I suppose the drive shuts himself down because of temperature.

 

It would be funny if a drive at quarter the price would solve my problem

You are setting video bitrate somewhere, right? That'll be the bandwidths you need.

Not really. It is buffered in ram anyway, so even few second delay will do nothing. If anything it probably writes in batches anyway, not constantly.

 

 

Realistically you need any hdd, probably as slow as possible (quiter, colder), just have to avoid SMR as that might be bad for the task.

So the bitrate is set to 50Mbps, but I also watch these videos and the playback also uses bandwith.

I thinks a WD40EFRX would do the job

Which is what, 6.25MB/s? That's so low that absolutely any hdd manufactured within last couple of decades will be easily able to write it, and with buffering writing/reading at the same time will not be an issue either.

Be careful, modern wd red drives (would be WD40EFAX) are SMR and should be avoided. Will probably still be able to handle it, but depending on situation SMR drives can be incredibly slow.

ok then normal hdd
