Good 1TB 2.5 HDD

[Kanna]

I’m looking for a 2.5 1TB HDD that I will be using in a custom external enclosure with my xbox one could someone help me find a good one that will last me long and isn’t too loud / vibrating, I live in Sweden so preferably something that is sold here

Missed external hdd, get that one works well.

 

Id really get a ssd here, not much more, but faster, more reliable, silent, lower power.

 

Otherwise, there all about the same, get the cheaper of the wd blue/seagate barracuda.

Would the xbox one really get a boost with an SSD tho? Edit : a SSD on 1TB is 700KR more

Assuming games are on it, load times should a reasonble amount faster.

I have seen comparisons and the xbox one doesn’t seem to be optimized for it resulting in not so big change also I don’t want to pay so much for an SSD but it’s so much more in cost

They make 2.5 versions, they are best bang for buck.

I would strongly suggest a 1TB SSD but if you insist on an HDD, I'd get a WD Blue. For the love of god, avoid Seagate drives if you at all care about the data on it.

Well I don’t insist in HDD but I really don’t want to shell out so much on a SSD, I’m sweating now since my PC has a 4TB seagate

Well depending on the game. With ssd you can use it in your pc later if you're done with it.

Seagate drives really aren't that bad, and fail at about the same rate as other brands. Just make sure to have backups.

 

Id just get a ssd like this guy, and a 2.5in usb enclosure for ithttps://www.amazon.com/Crucial-BX500-NAND-2-5-Inch-Internal/dp/B07YD579WM/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=1tb+ssd&qid=1618868377&sr=8-5

 

But the external hdds will work, get the cheapest one, there all about the same.

Does that SSD have dram cache? Also my PC will already have a pretty big SSD

Especially this game, this game loads forever.

Bs, even forgetting that quite literally every Barracuda I've ever purchased has either been DOA or failed within 12 months of purchase, many others have similar experiences with their drives. I recommend looking at Backblaze's drive stats (and this is just for 2020!):

no dram, but it really won't matter here, your gonna be usb limited anyways.

Hmm maybe but idk if it’s worth 1000kr to load games maybe 10 sec faster

What is your sample size?

 

Looking at that same backblaze data, seagate is at about 2% and the average is about 1.6%. A bit worse, but far from much worse

 

Also backblaze samples isn't the same as these drives OP is looking at either.

My anecodtal evidence (and many other people on this forum) would dispute your claims with lower end drives such as the Barracudas that OP would likely be buying.

So 1 that video is before the like patch to load faster and it’s 5400RPM HDD if I got a one I would get a 7200RPM (not big difference but still)

I have the other anecodtal evidence. Toshiba and WD drives have been failing much more in the sample of hundreds of drives in PCs at work.

 

But anyways, the failure rate between brands is pretty close, I wouldn't avoid seagate  or any other brand due to this.
