Hello
I am looking to add storage to my old rig for storing media.
My primary drive is Kingston Digital HyperX Predator 240 GB PCIe SSD which i recently added and moved the old 1 GB seagate HDD for storage. Now the HDD is nearing full and i need to add storage.
My 7 year old mobo has Sata2 ports as well as couple of USB 3 outlets. I looking to add 3-4 TB HDD either as an internal HDD, like the old seagate, via sata2 or i can add external HDD via the USB3. I would ideally like to have the storage available at all times and not as a plug-in as and when desired.
Which would be the recommended way to go? My choices are
SEAGATE BARRACUDA 3 TB SATA Internal HDD for USD 100 connected via Sata2.
TOSHIBA 3TB CANVIO BASICS External HDD for USD 110 connected via USB3.
Thanks for suggestions in advance!!!
