HDD hard drive…?

I have a few questions for you:

I record many top European soccer matches in 4K, meaning high resolution. Each game uses around 10GB. The problem is that my PC SSD only has 1TB, and I also do other things on it, like gaming. So I'm considering getting a hard drive. It should be at least 2TB, more if possible, and cost no more than €120. Of course, it shouldn't be cheap junk. A few questions:

1: Can the hard drive handle videos in such a high resolution?

2: How long does a hard drive last?

3: Which ones can you recommend to me 100%?

In your desired price range you are mostly at 4TB HDD hard drives, a list with the most important features you have here: https://geizhals.de/?cat=hde7s&bpmax=120&v=e&hloc=at&hloc=de&sort=t&bl1_id=30&xf=1080_SATA+6Gb%2Fs%7E13810_2000%7E3772_3.5%7E8457_non-SMR

If you write 10GB in 90 minutes, the panels create that from the bandwidth. If you could also record on your SSD and then shoot the finished video on the HDD.

Hard drives keep like all disks until the day they fail. So stupid the answer sounds, but you can’t say it. We have some cases that were only a few weeks in use, others for more than 20 years of continuous operation. We’ve been in the lab pretty much everything.

Depending on how important you are, buy an external hard drive and make backups there (i.e. redundant duplicates of files).

What models are particularly bad are statistically known only after 2-3 years. Then the information is no longer worth much. From the construction, Toshiba is currently a bit more robust than the others.

  1. The question of which frame rate also comes to the resolution. The typical frame rate of 24 on television holds an HDD in 4k resolution.
  2. During the service life, it is very important to use. But usually long.
  3. I personally am very happy with the Toshiba P300

So you should take a ~8TB record.
I prefer Barracuda (segate).
Cost point about 100-150€ .

But a football match, 90min (without advertising), and that still in 4K.
At the latest at 2-3 football matches, the record is full.
