I have a Hitachi 1TB SATA2 HDD filling fast. Intend to add more storage, so what should I get? It will be mainly non-gaming, apps for software development work probably the most demanding apps I would use are: Virtual Box (Virtual PC software), Visual Studio, Blender (3D software). Budget, ~USD120
I noticed my Hitachi is noisy esp when using Virtual Box. I read that its noisy ... so considering getting a faster HDD for OS then 1 for storage? I am wondering ... maybe I get a something like
- 500GB Caviar Black
- 2TB Samsung F4 (5400rpm)
or should I just get a Samsung F4 (or another storage drive, maybe with better speed than my Hitachi, for use as OS drive + storage)?
