Help me to choose storage
jeanmalki03 :
Im gonna build a gaming/streaming/editing pc. I'v chosen all my part but I havent chosen storage. My options
1.
1tb seagate barracuda, 120 gb wd green m.2
2.
Samsung 860 evo 500gb
Option 2 + 1TB WD Blue.
Is this for storage, gaming or editing? Pure storage for things(music, video, docs. etc.) can be easily handled by that Seagate. A mixture of all 4 of your needs can be handled by the 500GB SSD.
You can then add a 1TB HDD later on down the road. Regardless you should install your drive that will have the OS on it and only that drive during the Windows install process. When the installation of the drive and Windows with all updates is completed you can power down and add your secondary drives.
120GB M.2 is just too...
Rewrite using different words.
Here’s a revised version of the text, aiming for clarity and variation in wording:
“Let’s rephrase this to better explain your PC build choices. You’re planning a gaming/streaming/editing machine, and you've selected components for various needs – primarily storage.
You’ve considered several options for your drive configuration: either a combination of a smaller M.2 SSD (120GB) and a standard SSD (WD Green - 120GB), or a larger single SSD (Samsung 860 Evo - 500GB). To expand your storage capacity, you’re also contemplating adding a 1TB HDD later on.
The smaller M.2 drive is not recommended for the primary operating system due to its limited size. It's best to install Windows solely on the larger SSD (Samsung 860 Evo) and then add additional drives after the OS is fully installed and updated. This approach ensures a smoother setup process.
The Seagate Barracuda (1TB) would be suitable for storing large files like music, videos, and documents – essentially serving as a general-purpose storage solution.”
