Replacing some drives

[TheGamingLawNL]

Hi Guys,

 

I am sitting with an issue here on 2 of my systems. My main system got overhauled last year as I had an AMD System that wasn't satifying for me. But in this system I had some hard drives from 2 systems before that. One of my HDDs is now about 6-7 years old and from Samsung. I've been having the feeling that one of my drives is dying though I don't know how to test it properly and I never had really bad errors (except on a SSD who has been acting weird once).

 

Anyway my Mobo is a Asus Maximus VI Hero and at this time I have all sata ports filled (oops). So I want to replace some drives.

 

I've got about 2 1TB drives, 2 500GB drives, 1 120GB SSD (840 Basic) and 1 250 GB (840 Basic) and 2 2TB drives. I use the space a lot and I am thinking of replacing them which is really wise. The current setup is just plain stupid. But I've heard horror stories about HDDs bigger than 2TB. Is this still the case? In my country it isn't really common to find 3TB or > drives. But in my country I can't even get a GTX 780 6GB... or anything about 3GB Vram actually. (yay for The Netherlands)

 

Anyway how is it these days with those drives? And is it wise to go for a 500GB or 1TB SSD? If so which one do you guys recommend? I am really curious about this.

 

Cheers from a Dutchie

Not really an issue anymore these days, any modern SATA controller should

have no problems supporting drives larger than 2 TB.
