Buying a new HDD, advice needed

ClevoGame
1 Normal version of ssd 128-250 for Windows, software, and at least a couple of toys. To store wd red files for a couple of terabytes, although one terabyte may be enough for many.
If you still can't take ssd, then take WD blue (somewhere around 3500r for 1tb and about 5000r for 2tb)

2 Yes it will work until it dies at all. Only something important is better not to store of course.

3 How lucky about life. Maybe two years, maybe 7-8 years quietly work. Well, cooling in a case with good airflow to the disk basket can extend the service life. Plus, as I wrote above, finding Windows on ssd, and not hdd, should in theory reduce the load on hdd, which can also increase the service life.

Do you
use ClevoGame ?

no

In vain, railways do not like abnormal shutdowns in case of a sudden blackout.

About life. I bought my screw back in 2008, before the crisis, it works to this day without any complaints. By the way, I have it without cooling and other things in this spirit. I just got lucky. On the subject: I advise you to take WD Red or TOSHIBA. You can also use Seagate, but personally they often let me down.

Yeah. Then they say that siageyt is gross. ))
Although my seagate survived a dozen battles of Kulikovo, his paw creaked, although it still works. I use it as an external drive. )

I will say this, this is not quite a normal version.
The normal variant is the usual HDD + ACH-I.

ACH-I
you can read more what it is, I'm just from the village)

Included in BIOS, called ACH-I mod. Or just ACH-I. The only thing that you need to enable it before installing Windows, otherwise the blue screen and you will be tortured to install Windows with it. That is, you turn it on in the BIOS, save, reboot, and if Windows is installed, then immediately poke the Axis installation from the disk. Well, on a clean hard drive, there will be no such problems. )

Well, they are also different. Super duper Barakuda is gross.

Some kind of sickly broom ... I have a WD Black WD1001FALS for 1TB, it was bought as soon as it appeared (in 2008, probably). It still works fine, only makes a lot of noise.

there will be no advice because how many bakers and so many opinions and the cheap segment of discs is always a lottery to some extent.
For example, I would not take a Western digital because I have it and it was caught in the corruption of files. I also learned that just that 3TB model was the most breakable. however, I did not find any faults in it, and so far I also found it in its further work. another disk, as far as I remember, of the same model, is driven upside down under the bottom of the case and seems to work, but it seems to be disabled. and there are a lot of similar peck-peck stories, but I got that disc and I got this and so on.

Are you sure that the disc is defective, and not the hands are crooked?

I think it will be easier to buy a new one, and I would like to know which company is better to take a railway with a price of up to 4000 rubles?
Let's say I buy a new hard disk drive, it will be the main one with WIN, will it be possible to use this broken hard disk drive to store files?
And one more question, is the life of a railway on average 1.5-2 years now?
Buy a new one for sure.
With the company, everything is more difficult if personally from my experience, then WD quite suitable disks out of 5 purchased, only 1 died unprecedentedly, the rest have been unscrewed for at least 4 years and continue to work quietly.
All of the different series are Black, Green, Blue.
About a broken xs disk, but if it freezes under load, then there is little that can be done with it, as an option to correctly divide it (so that troubles do not fall into the working memory areas)
In general, the service life is a matter of chance, plus look with the longest possible guarantee.

I just did just that, I sat all the data down in Victoria, and I highlighted all the ills of the sector, separated it from the railway into an empty section, got 100GB, worked 2 weeks perfectly, and yesterday it started

and where did you see that I said that he was defective?
And where does the crooked hands? I don’t inflict physical damage on him, for these almost 2 years of using windows I reinstalled 5 times, I did defrag once every 1-2 months.
And on the railway there was always free about 100GB on C and 200-300GB on D

If two years after the purchase you are ready to buy a new one just because the disc starts to slow down at times, then it is either defective or your hands are crooked. In the first case, the check would show problems, in the second case, you need to use your brains to understand what is loading the disk. But of course it's easier to buy a new disk, but it's better to take a new computer right away.

Read more carefully, I wrote that during the check a lot of bad blocks were found and they cannot be restored.
And now read the reviews of various railways, many die before they reach a year.
It's just that nowadays the choice of a hard disk is a lottery. the quality of the discs is at the lowest level.

is it worth taking Western Digital Red 1Tb (WD10EFRX)?
