Hi, I'm starting a You-Tube channel, and I'm trying to decide on a HDD to store my video footage on. I've managed to narrow it down to these two drives, but before I purchased anything, I wanted to ask what the difference between these two drives would be in terms of storage, reliability, etc...

I bought a new desktop a few weeks ago. When it arrived I noticed the Hard Drive was causing a lot of problems and it was slow. I've made a couple of posts on here about the drive itself and I hope this is my final one. I've collected a few diagnostics, tested a few things and now I'm making...

Sorry for what might possibly be the dumbest question ever asked about HDDs. So last week, after buying a new desktop I noticed the HDD was acting funny. Downloads would stop, stay stopped for minutes, then continue, then stop again, and so on when trying to download to the HDD. After posting...

So suddenly I got this problem and I've been using this hard drive for about 1 year. Previously, about 3 weeks ago I did a surface test on a sentinel hard disk and there was no weak sector at all, but today I know this problem because when i do reading data, I hear strange sounds like beeping...

I'm about to plan my storage and there was a lot of option to consider and I refused the SSHD option for my gaming/data storage. M.2 NVMe will be my system boot drive so we don't wanna talk about that but instead my data storage needs. I think I've come to my last option: should I use Intel...

I own a ST3500630NS Seagate Barracuda 500GB hard drive that suddenly failed. It has absolutely no power, does not show up in bios and I have tried multiple different cables, interfaces and power supplies. It is my understanding that because there is absolutely no power-on and no detection by...
