What Hard Drive Should I Go For

WiiUMasterGman · May 14, 2016

There is a Seagate 2.5" 500GB hard drive that is 69.99 ( that's 6.9 cents per GB) There is a 1TB hard drive that is 84.99 (That's 8.4 cents per GB) What should I go for?

What ever one you want, sshd, ssd, hdd, they all do one thing store data, the difference depends on youu? 1000gb, 5000gb, 50mmb ps1 memory card will do.

WiiUMasterGman :

1. Your math is off.
500GB for $70 = 14 cents per GB
1TB for $85 = 8.5 cents per GB

2. What would this be used for?

3. What RPM are these? 7200, 5400, 5900?

4. What system is this going in? Laptop, desktop?

It would just be to do some light gaming and store school projects

And the other 3 bullets in my post?

WiiUMasterGman :

Get as much capacity as you can afford. There's no such thing as too much.

WiiUMasterGman · May 14, 2016

It's going into my first PC build and it didnt say that RPM

WiiUMasterGman · May 14, 2016

It is 7200 RPM

WiiUMasterGman :

Generally, a 1TB 3.5" internal drive is closer to $50 US, not $85.

Do you have links to these things?

WiiUMasterGman · May 14, 2016

I live in canada so that's why the prices are higher

USAFRet · May 14, 2016

WiiUMasterGman :

OK.
Disregard that 2.5" drive.

USAFRet · May 14, 2016

WiiUMasterGman :

No to both of those.
See my link above.

WiiUMasterGman · May 14, 2016

Im not ordering those because my dad works for that company and i have easy access to them

USAFRet · May 14, 2016

WiiUMasterGman :

I have no idea what you mean by this.

WiiUMasterGman · May 14, 2016

I can get those right when i walk into the store and my dad gets a discount

WiiUMasterGman · May 14, 2016

And i dont want to take the effort to have to ship it in

USAFRet · May 14, 2016

OK then...
Buy the 1TB 3.5" drive.
Ignore the 2.5" one.

Actually, if you're not also getting an SSD, look at this: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd1003fzex
