[mihajlomiki190904]

IT IS URGENT, PLEASE HELP
I'm looking for a quality 1TB HDD, max price $50, can you guys suggest me?
I would like to get a Seagate HDD, I trust them the most, but I'm no tech guy so yeah, If I'm wrong about Seagate please let me know. Thanks!

Now, check out this site, and let me know what HDD would be the best for me please.

Look for a price that is MAX 6.000 dinars (55 dollars)


1 dollar = 120 dinars
50 dollars = somewhere around 5.500 dinars

THANK YOU

How do I know if the dimensions are good tho?
Standard dimension is 3.5" right?
So no worries about that?

Board if it did run , would throttle with 125W 8350 mounted in it.

WD better than Seagate?

Same Same Same Same
Choose which one you want, you will hate them both because it WILL fail, but when that happens, who knows!

I got a Seagate for 3 years now, everything seems fine...
What should I do if it fails? I got some important files on it...
When people say I should do a backup, what does that exactly mean?
I mean, I know what is backup, but how should I do it? Where? How?
I gotta buy an external HDD and backup files or what? I'm kinda confused when it comes to backup...

you can do many things for backup.
Copy the files onto another hard disk - which costs you more money as you need another new hd
I personally use CLOUD storage google drive/dropbox etc - which backs up my files/photos etc

Also if you want to know if your hard drive is going to fail, do what I do
Download and install Hard Disk Sentinel - it monitors your Drives and warns you when it will fail or is about to fail - it helps a lot!

It says that my HDD will live for approximately 1000 days now... Should I trust that or?
Also it says Performance 100% and Health 100%, so I think I'm good...

Looks like it's all good then.
I trust it, when it starts to get less than 100 days - then I think its time to get a new one
When it drops, it drops quickly, this program at least warns you. Most people post about how their hard drive died, which is too late

Got it, thanks man!
And by the way, what do you prefer? What's better, WD or Seagate?
Yeah you told me they are both bad, they'll both fail...
But which one IS better? Which one has better quality?
Thanks.

EDIT : Or maybe there is other brand better than both WD and Seagate? (at the same price limit, 50 bucks) Let me know!

All the same imo, none are better. Think of it as a sticker. If you put a sticker on your car saying Rolls Royce, does it make it a better car? No, drives are all really good quality now, not a huge difference in the quality from a branded supplier.
