HDD Help
So i never thought id actually run out of room on my 500GB HDD, but i guess i have...? ha.
anyway, before i got my ssd i had bought a WD 500GB Black. and that was the boot drive and everything. after i got my SSD, obviously my SSD became my boot drive and the 500GB became storage.
but now im in a pickle. what should i do?
1) buy another 500GB or 1TB and have 3 total drives (the new drive would sit idle in the system almost 24/7)
2) buy a 1 or 2TB HDD and move all my stuff from my current to the new one and just take the old one out and keep as backup or sell it? (no waste in power, and wont just be idle in my system 24/7)
im thinking im going to go with #2 because i really have no reason for 3 drives. but the question comes down too which drive should i get? WD black or WD blue. this is for all storage 3 programs (Premier, After effects, Photoshop), and all my games. i also move all the cache from those programs to the HDD to save writes on the SSD.
heres the drives:
Western Digital WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive, Blue - Newegg.com
Newegg.com - WD BLACK SERIES WD1003FZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
is there really any noticeable performance difference between the 2 especially as storage drives?
