So my 5+ year old 1TB seagate died out on me and its time to do some upgrades.
I currently have a 1TB Caviar Black in my system.
For the HDD I'm having a tough time deciding between a 1TB Caviar Black or a 2TB Seagate FireCuda, there's only a price difference of 2k in them and the firecuda's are supposed to be better performing HDDs since they are hybrid drives. Has anyone tried them out ?
For the SSD, I really have no idea. I only need one for the windows install and maybe some important apps. 240gb should be sufficient or even 120gb I think but I'm not sure which brand. Samsung seem to be out of stock everywhere and they are expensive. The cheaper ones are either Kingston or Corsair but there are just so many different models and I have zero idea about them. I would like to keep the SSD under 10k or as cheap as possible without compromising on life expectancy so any help there ? They all seem to be TLC.
Thanks!
