Best bang for your buck internal HDDs? In terms of performance, capacity etc. I'm getting tired of Seagate failures so lets ignore those... Unless you know of some model with failure rates comparable to the competition!

it just werks

I heard people on /g/ say the Blue drives have a high failure rate.

Hitachi

All HDD are a roll of the dice.

Just get the cheapest HDD and roll the dice.

The failure rate differences are so small that spending a considerable premium for one that fails less is silly.

Get 2 of the cheapest ones instead of one HGST and properly backup your data.


There were some cheap WD reds flowing out of bestbuy a bit ago inside of enclosures. I know the 16 TB ones have reds in them if you want 2x8 TB

I just bought refurbed 1-3 TB Hitachi Ultrastars for dirt cheap. They're loud as shit but perform great and will probably outlive me.

What about toshiba p300?https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16822149633
I'm considering to buy this one.

Literally the best HDD in every aspect.

Buy a black 1tb hdd dies in 2 years mean while the 500gb blue drive from my old prebuilt is still going strong for 7 years with heavy usage

Not trying to be a shill here but is $9 a month really that much of a financial strain? At least for the time you pay your data is safer than on a clunky mechanical hard drive that can fail whenever it feels like.

I thought that was the Greens.

I have a Blue from 2009 that's still kicking.

Never had a WD failure.

What does everyone on /g/ do for backing up animu and stuff?

>>60932478
thinking of some these Toshiba drives for delicious RAID 1

>>60932283
I came here to say this. I've bought three of the 2TB ones for ~$45 a piece lately.
>>
>>60933002
That's fine, assuming you only need 1TB. Personally, I need at least 3TB. Not going to pay fucking $30/mo for that. I'll buy two 3TB drives (one for backup) for ~$150.
>>
>>60934426
RAID 1 is shit. A periodic backup is far better.

>>60931125
WD black is still probably the best to get if you want the extra performance for 10-15 dollars more

they are loud though so be warned

Sure thing buddy

No it's not safe. Get the fuck out of /g/ you fucking little kid.

What is /g/'s consensus on WD Red drives?

I have 2x WD 2TB greens in a raid 1 in a shitty dlink nas
they've been going since ~2012, they have my main pc backups and all of my music / videos on them, running out of space
I've been wanting to build a new storage solution but haven't spent the money yet
