So here are my PC parts, I highlighted what needs to be addressed.
I'm a avid gamer and video/audio wizard. The computer is used all day erry'day so durability could be a criteria. But don't worry, if it survives 3 years, I could have already saved money for another one. (Except for storage, broken storage = lost data...)
I currently have a total of 1TB of storage.
500GB from an SSD and 500GB from an HDD.
The SSD is under 50% and I want to keep it that way to keep it crisp and minty.
But my HDD is already at the red line, so here's the question should I get the 4TB Black or 6TB Red for my Steam directory?. If I buy the new HDD, my documents, files, movies, music will remain on my 500GB since it only occupies ~100GB of it.
Some questions that I'm curious for answers:
1. I like fast loading times. Are loading times NOTICEABLY faster between black and red?
2. Money doesn't grow from trees, so if you have another HDD that's a bang for my buck, can you suggest another one?
3. Should I wait for a 10TB HDD or go dive in now?
Thank you for reading through my post!
