Hello,
My system - Windows 10/Linux - has a mix of SSD and non-SSD drives, and I need to replace at least one WD Blue with sector errors. I don't want to wait for the total breakdown so I'm already hunting for replacements.
Any suggestion on internal 3.5HD, 7200 RPM SATA drives?
I would keep the size to 2TB (if I need more I will handle it through external HDDs, but that means I am accumulating too much junk
)
Since I'm not sure I want to choose WD again (especially Blue), the Seagate Barracuda tempts me...
Of course, I'm looking for the best trade-off between performance and reliability but if I have to choose it's for the latter.
Any hint is welcome.
Thanks,
Mario
