What's the recommended HDD these days?

Only buy seameme if they're substantially cheaper than the competition.
While they are cheaper, it's normally only 10-15% cheaper than WD. Given the mttf differences at the moment, it's worth it to go WD

here's your last reply, retard
but in case someone is genuinely wondering how to read SMART values, the current/worst/threshold are normalized values and the raw value will give you the actual data stored, so convert it to decimal. There's even a fucking textbox up there which states what the actual power on hours are, converted from the raw hex value.
kill yourself, your bait is garbage

>RAW
>FED
Your RAW Value is just some other acronym, says FED 9. So it's 9 hours then?
Gimme a break.

an SSD

1tb of ssds costs 100 euros you actual retard

>acronym
He said it's hex, convert FED9 to decimal

why bother replying to the retard

SSDs.
Spinning rust can die.

No, it says FED9.

>HDD
>Not tapes
I know Fuji and Sony slapping each other so only M8 instead of proper LTO8's are available right now, but it's still better than spinning rust once you hit the 5th M tape

>don't know how to read SMART attributes
Seagate POH attribute counts down from 100 to 0 (or 1, not sure). 26 means the drive has 26% of its active life expectancy left.

you're not funny retard
SSDs aren't dirt cheap compared to HDDs.
you obviously need both, but don't recommend replacing storage drives with SSDs.

Are you OK retard?

How much space do you need user? How much space did you use? I'm starting to stop hoarding stupid shit, maybe you should delete the 4K movie of 5cm per second and other various porn mega packs you will never watch anyway.

>the absolute state of wd cucks

Okay but really, any serious responses?

>WD Blue 1TB
This. Had one for a few years now and I've never had any issues. Bought another one there as tepid-storage to go with my new 500gb SSD

Should I just stick with NAS drives like the ironwolf and reds?

What signs?

This drive is basically full right now but never had any issues so far, I'm going to get a 4TB probably a WD Blue and mirror what I have on the 2TB then have another 2TB for whatever.

500 hours, as in 20 days? That's literally nothing for an HDD. How old are they?

I've had a 2GB WD green in my computer since 2015 running for about 16 hours a day and its still got the brand new read write speeds

OP, the only company on earth that even makes HDDs is Western Digital. That's why you WILL buy from them and you WILL be happy with your purchase.

I got by for years on 120GB, and then 120+250GB, which is what I have now. With a 3rd 500GB SSD dedicated to Linux, and the only reason I feel like I could use a new one is because my oldest SSD (~6-8 years old) is only 120GB and it's got windows on it and windows fills it up with so much fucking junk that it is somehow constantly around 90-100GB filled despite literally only having a few basic programs and windows on it - everything else I moved to my other 250GB drive years ago. Seriously, fuck windows. What the fuck.

And even now, I've got about 150GB of space free across the two windows drives (370GB total). I honest to god don't understand what people are filling their harddrives with that they need multi-terabytes of space. I don't even know what I'd do with that much space. It's useless to me.

My best guess is that people literally just save every single porn video they come across, plus entire seasons of shows they never watch.

The only media I've saved are ~4-8GB's of pictures, another ~3-4GB of textures for modding in secondlife, and

No. This isn't the 90s anymore, there aren't any surviving horrible brands of HDDs that normally die after a month.

Ever since Vista, Windows saves every driver you ever install on it in case you want to do a system restore to that point. Nvidia drivers are especially bloated so the Windows install appears to balloon up to 100GB when really it's just old Nvidia drivers.

I need to clean that shit out at some point.

Wd blue 1tb is god tier in terms of longevity.
I bought 2 in 2014, they still run great and are showing no signs of failure.
Not the highest performing HDD.
But you getting more then your money's worth.

This is my steam folder. I have six games installed. I play them regularly. I'm sure I'll be installing others soon since this is a pretty fresh drive and I just haven't used it much yet.

Windows apparently won't let you do that normally, though I'm sure you could just mount the drive in linux and delete the old drivers.

Is it better to torrent onto a NAS HDD?

Mine is still going strong, too.

>using a disk after 50,000 power on hours

Hope you enjoy data loss.

spinning rust is obsolete.

Spinning rust will be obsolete when you can get SSDs for $20/TB.

Doesn't matter as long as it's not helium meme

>200+ hours
That's like 15 days lel

For that price you can get a 4tb hdd.
