Hey guys!
I recently upgraded my pc. I have windows and apps installed on my intel 520 series 240gb ssd, and for games/storage/data i have a WD Green 2TB hard drive.
As of lately the hdd has been making some noises on startup. I have run HDD diagnostic tools and the tests have all passed. There is no "clicks of death" or anything along those lines but i feel the hard drive is just sluggish. Also, the green has the head parking issue where i powers down every 8 seconds, resulting in a little 'chirp' coming from the hard drive.
It is not a fan, it is definitely my hard drive.
I am so fed up. I know i could go get a wd black being faster, but they also make more noise!
So then i started thinking, wouldn't it be just beautiful if i had no moving parts in my pc. I went and looked up large SSD drives thinking im going to see insanely expensive ones. But to my surprise i came across the CRUCIAL M500 960GB SSD!
I am very tempted to get it and say adios to damn hard drives forever! However, i do not want to make stupid decisions.
What do you guys think?
