Well, I literally just bought an AORUS. I suspect I'll notice a huge improvement since I'm currently using using a Mushkin Reactor SATA SSD. I just dropped about $2K, so I won't be upgrading my PC for at least another 3 years, aside from the GPU, which I never upgraded. Hence I don't think what...

Is there a list anywhere of currently available PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD other than the ones listed below? Corsair MP600 Gigabyte AORUS GALAX HOF Pro Micro Center Inland Performance Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0 Thanks

Primarily extensive torrenting is the use case. Unfortunately, other than the SATA port that will be freed up due to this dying drive, all of the other ports are occupied. And I'm really only interested in replacing the one drive, not necessarily spending boat loads of money to set up an...

Well, NAS drives also have a better anti-vibration functionality too. That's where all of this stuff gets confusing to me. Enterprise has anti-vibration, so does NAS. Surveillance is for 24/7 operation, yet so is NAS. I guess the failure rates of enterprise compared to NAS is the key takeaway...

Okay. Cool. What about enterprise drives? Do you have any experience with HGST Ultrastar drives?

I only have one more SATA port available. All six are currently being used. One drive is going bad, which is why I'm replacing it.

Do you have any experience with HGST Ultrastar drives??

My key concern right now is that people have said that surveillance drives are more geared towards sequential writes? However, I've also watched some videos talking about surveillance drives being used for multiple cameras at once, which seems more realistic? In the environment that I'll be...

To what extent are surveillance more geared towards sequential writes than NAS drives? And if you're not sure, is this info available anywhere?

Duly noted about the specs. Thanks.

Wouldn't torrenting constitute random r/w more so than sequential r/w?

Of course it's legal content. I've read that WD's NAS drives are built for almost constant use too? Notably, there is going to be significantly more writing, almost if not constant, whereas reading from the drive will be much fewer and farther between.

Context The main drive I use for downloading to is beginning to experience errors, which I'm assuming is a harbinger of failure, so I'm looking for a replacement. Considering high-capacity drives can be expensive, I'm looking for a replacement that is going to be able to handle an intense...

Perfect. Thanks.
