best hard drives

in a system build used the ssd drive but when adding extras, am i better with usb 3 or sata, (yes my board supports usb 3) but what is gunner be better performance wise


pls help thanks

hmmm well if you want speed i would go with sata? but yeh is the new storage external or internal????

You can always buy a pci card that provides you with more sata ports not sure about the performance. I only use it once to plug my 360 dvd drive so i can give it some extra features lol

The hardest (and best) drive I could find:




Thats what you were after right?

i think they are all driving away from my TANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah - you should go with the portable HDD

In 1957, you could have leased an IBM RAMAC 305 with one of these disks for the measly sum of $3,200 per month.

And - No, Lylow - I never had one of these....

lol

Pretty sure they would have had one of these too.

You weren't an executive knob unless you had one.

Nah man. Not me.

My glasses were thicker, I wore my pants higher and I'll be damned if I ever had a sweater vest in sky blue!

And then back to the modern world for one of these

nice and expensive(fast)

whooo with no help i put the beast together and its alive...... alive i tell ya, cpu runnin at 38c thats ok im guessin. but would like to know a good temp monitoring software as my old case used to have lcd display on front and this one doesnt. windows 7 installed. now i left all bios as factory standard didnt play with raid settings etc(dont know what im doing) and hard drive got a windows index score of 7. is that about right or should it be configures in a specific way ??

for cpu temp I use core temp 0.99.7, get it frome here:

cheers, thanks for that

38c is a good temp, windows index of 7 is excellent.

every thing else was 7.5 and 7.8 and with the ssd being the lowest score thought there maybe a problem
