Hey, since I've been making a lot of videos as a hobby these days, and I like to edit and copy a lot, I need a fast hard drive. I currently have a conventional HDD, but it's a bit slow for my liking.
Now the question is, which hard drive is best for me?
I would prefer one with 2 to 3 TB
Thank you 😉

Loading...Hello everyone, I have a small question. My old PC was wrecked by water damage and couldn't be saved because the motherboard and CPU were broken. Now my question regarding the new PC, which is arriving on Monday, is whether I can test my capture card or old graphics card on it without damaging the…
Hello everyone The thru axle on my bike got stuck and, strangely enough, the screw that I unscrewed also turned, and now I can't screw it in again. Can someone help me what I could do? I can't describe it exactly. Greetings The screw has to go in there but I just can't get it…

Hi everyone I'd like to create a podcast with my friends. I'd like to invite people from my group of friends to join us periodically.

Greetings, my VR headset just arrived. Now I'm not sure whether I should buy it through the store or Steam, or does it make no difference? I just heard something from Beatsaber about not being able to download custom maps anymore, and since I had to downgrade the game version, does that work with that…
Hello, I wanted to buy the MacBook Air M2 with 8 GB RAM and 512 GB storage for €1,199. Do you think it would be more sensible to buy it with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage for €1,461? I would use it for school, mainly for office programs like Word, PowerPoint, Excel, surfing…
As Daedag wrote, as a work-run I would take an SSD that should be big and fast:

I myself am a fan of
Seagate Firecuda 530 or WD SN850
Samsung 980 Pro or SAmsung 990 Pro I would rather not recommend because Samsung had firmware problems more often.
To archive the finished videos, you can then take a hard drive that does not have to be particularly fast only reliable:

It will be especially safe if you take two identical hard drives and have them in a mirrored raid network.
Thank you. Would you notice a difference in terms of running time when copying or moving 1-1,5GB video?
I don’t understand your demand.
If you copy or move from an SSD to an HDD (or from HDD to SSD), then the HDD is always the bottle neck that has a read/write power between 80 and 250MB/sec.
If you copy from an SSD to an SSD or move it, either the interface (SATA max. about 550MB/sec) or a used writing cache (which is usually so min around the 8GB) of the bottleneck. Otherwise, the data are written or moved up to 2.4 to 7GB/sec depending on SSD.
Due to the enormous speed difference, you should also like to use a fast SSD to work on videos. For playback, a hard drive is usually completely sufficient because the videos (compressed video data) yes “only” require the 14MB/sec (100GB video at 2h running time) depending on the quality.
There are very detailed tests on the web. How:

As a workstation m.E. today only SSDs, no more mechanical hard drives.
To store data external hard drives, at least 2 with identical content stored in different locations.
Do you have a certain brand board recommendation?
