I would greatly appreciate any recommendations.
I have seen a few sales on hard drives but need help in choosing best type/brand, (NAS-Enterprise-desktop-internal-external). I will be storing mainly videos,movies and music. My pc, (my 1st build, with forum help) has: i7-4790k-Asus Z97-A Motherboard-16gb G-skill ram-Samsung 850 evo 500gb and WD Black 1TB at present.
In researching I have become totally confused. Would a NAS or Enterprise even work? I have read external drives are equal in speed to internal(?). I checked cpubenchmark.net to try and compare drives but they do not rate external drives. External would be handy as I could connect directly to my TV but price and performance are my priorities. If I add another internal drive will I need a RAID setup?
I can wait and watch for one of your recommended drives to come on sale.
Thanks in advance.
