file transfer and download will depend on the connection to a specific drive, and won't slow down when adding more drives because those other drives don't need to be referenced.

 

As for booting, you may notice a slight increase in BIOS time due to more devices initializing, but this may be too subtle to make any real difference.

Hi. 

 

Storage has always been a problem with me when it comes to PCs. Recently i've started stuffing my PC with SeaGate Ironwolf HDD's and I'm curious if it's a sensible decision? 

 

I'm wondering if I continue that my PC will just take ages to do certain actions, such as: Booting, File Transfers & Downloads.

 

Is this a bad idea or another way of pursuing this?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
