No SMR drives please.

[Peterg]

Sorry it will be used mainly for videos.

Here is what SMR is but I am sure you all already know.

Don't over think it.

The most expensive and notable drive could be used as a foot ball during shipping and by the time you get it it'll be crap.

If you have important storage it should always at least be duplicated on another drive.

Why this one ?

[Peterg]

I forgot I am going to be streaming the video from my pc to my phone on Plex when I am out and about from this hard drive. Does that matter on hard drive selection/speed ?

Larger cache for what it's worth ^.

On this one I get 196MB read and 195MB write, I had it for 3+ yrs about.

Barracuda doesn't come close to the ones I linked and doesn't have a lengthy warranty either.

[Peterg]

Thank you.

Sorry.
