Hi all.
My Samsung Spinpoint F1, started giving me signals of their imminent death, so I'll have to replace them when I get paid next week. The drives were used for storing games and the occasional video. The question is what should replace them?
The competition so far is between getting 2-4 normal harddrives in raid (1 or 1+0) or 512-1024 gb of SSD. The price per year of use is important.
The drives I'm considering are:
HDD:
Seagate Desktop HDD ST1000DM003 1 TB (or the 2 TB variant)
Toshiba DT01ACA100 1 TB (or the 2 TB variant)
Wester Digital WD10EZEX 1 TB
SSD
Whatever have the cheapest price/gb.
So should I go through a last cycle of HDD's before going all SSD or is now the time for change?
I hope someone is able to give me some good input and point out considerations I might have forgotten.
