My WD Black finally went out. I just picked up a seagate 2tb from bestbuy.
It is crazy now, the same drive on Newegg is no cheaper than at bestbuy in store.
Newegg just isnt what it used to be.
I guess i thought about getting a huge SSD. Mechanical drives just do not last these days. I went through so many since the floods. Even the WD blacks, they just dont last. I just picked up this seagate to be up and running when gta5 launched. My 256gb SSD just wasnt gonna cut it. My WD black was throwing SMART errors/alarms, it wouldnt pass the long or short test. Luckily I had all my data backed up after a blue screen code pointed me towards the failing HD.
I still ran it another 5 months before it went completely out. It was my windows 7 drive. My main OS.
Now i am Win8.1 all the way
Anyway, I went with the seagate and i am sure it will fail in a year or two. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-driv...mber-2014/
should have went with Hitachi
