Hi,
I have an old computer:
- 2.8GHz i7 processor
- 6GB memory
- motherboard: ASUS P6T-SE (the link
- Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
- NVidia Gefore GTX-275
An old system mechanical HDD has started to emit weird sounds. It's Seagate 2TB. I tested it with Crystal Info Disk and read SMART data. I think it degrades because it has about 199 uncorrectable sectors and another 100 Pending sectors. It's been working only for ~ 14000 hours. I though disks should last longer than that :/ I have another 2TB mechanical disk for data. The symptoms are system freezes very often, at start, during gaming, even if it's new fresh installed.
Now, I am considering buying a new 1TB for system that can have a very good performance for gaming, either fast mechanical HDD such as WD Black, Samsung SDD, or hybrid WD SSHD . I also need another disk for backups of a system and a storage disks. I am thinking of 3TB WD Blue for that.
So the final configuration would be:
- system disk 1TB, SSD, WD SSHD, or WD Black
- 2 TB for MyDocuments and other data
- 3 TB to get incremental backup every week and full backup every month.
First, I am not sure about SSHD.
Second, I have an old motherboard. Do you think new disks can be handled by the AUS P6T-SE?
I have read that WD disks are very reliable and Black versions are dedicated for high performance. On the other hand, if I decide to buy SSD, I think Samsungs are recommended. I don't know if SSD is a good option for an old motherboard, though.
Please, I am looking forward to your comments on this. Perhaps you could suggest something esle for me. Ty.
