I hope this is the right place to ask this question 😓
I’m looking to get a new storage drive (4tb) for my gaming/daily PC to store media like documents and videos (gaming clips with friends etc.), some clips can be over 30minutes long but some can be 3minutes to 20seconds. So I’ll be trimming clips and recording stuff often (these clips are just for archival purposes for when I want to look back on some fun experiences).
the only 4tb hdds for daily pc use I can find are 5400rpm, other than WD Blacks (but those are expensive, I did find an affordable one that’s 7200rpm and 64mb cache but idk if cache matters). Otherwise the 7200rpm ones are NAS/RAID drives; would a drive like a Seagate Exos/WD Red be suitable for my use-case? Would the noise be an issue? Is daily booting an issue too?
Thank you for taking your time to read the post 🧎♂️
EDIT: also SSDs are way more expensive
