I am worried the data will be at risk both because of SeaGate in general being considered a 'less reliable' hard drive brand and because of what was said about this particular drive at the bottom of this page. Also it's 7200RPM, but on the flip side it's just a plain old normal hard drive. The TravelStar has great reviews across the board and I trust HGST much more. I honestly am inclined towards each one I really want the FireCuda because of the extra storage andВ somewhatВ because of the speed though I've heard mixed things about it especially since the mechanical part of the hard drive is only 5400 RPM (some say this doesn't matter because of the way it's designed). I am between the 2.5' HGST Travelstar 1TB 'normal' mechanical hard driveВ and the 2.5' Seagate Firecuda 2TB 'hybrid' hard drive. It's important to me that the drive is reliable, but speed is also important (though as long as it somewhat compares with my desktop 7200RPM drive it should be fine). The FireCuda's the biggest available for the laptop. If there were bigger drives available for laptops, I'd probably go for it. I use a lot of storage and I don't like to use more than 1/2 of the space available on a drive at any time anyways. What I use this computer for is/will be a mix of gaming, school work, coding, possibly VMs, etc whatever my heart's desire. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they did.ДЄnyways, hello there! I'm Feliks andВ I need a storage drive for my laptop, and for the boot drive I already have an SSD. The answers I got there this time (all 3 of them) weren't even answers not a single one actually answered the question, it's like people just copy pasted things there in hopes of getting selected as best answer. I tried asking this question on theВ Tom's Hardware forums, which 2 years ago were way better for getting answers.
