Trending on downloading and storing more and more stuff, your well off with a HDD, they have massive storage space for little to no money, But I can tell you since I'm still running three of them in my own system, they are a bit on the noisy side, and then again your case needs to have space to mount them if your going that route.
How loud would they be with headphones, i can bear the noise as i had the loudest hard drive on my old computer and i didnt mind it, should i go for a 2-4tb hdd?
the fans on the pc are already kinda loud for todays pc standards i just want extra space and downloading games and updates will just one once. i dealt with slow speeds before so i dont really care about that.
is seagate barracuda a reputable brand?
