I'd like to get a very high capacity drive (at least 14 TB), preferably internal but I'm not opposed to external. It would be used almost entirely for storing videos. I genuinely don't understand what read/write speeds I should be looking for. If I do plan to watch videos from the drive (nothing 4K, but at the most good quality 1080p video), is this a concern? I know almost nothing about RAIDs. At this capacity point, should I be looking into one? If so, where do I begin with this? I've seen a lot of drives that are NAS. I have no idea what this is. What is the benefit of it? Are they d ..read more

So I accidentally dropped my HDD from a like 10 cm and the plastic piece came off, but the pins are still there. Is it possible to fix it and to recover data? And what is the connector on the right with four pins? submitted by /u/Sampsa96 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi All, I currently have a 8TB HDD that I'm thinking of upgrading to a more quieter SSD. Does anyone recommend a 8 - 10TB SSD setup that may or may not have NAS capabilities that has USB-C inputs? I'd like to be able to view files while not at home. In addition, since SSD's (aside from HDD's), may eventually stop working, what are some ways to assure that my data doesn't get lost when the time comes? Any suggestions would be appreciated! TL;DR: Asking for a 8-10TB SSD recommendation w/ possible NAS capability & a way to protect data from eventual SSD failure. submitted by /u/givenchymarc ..read more

I have a 4TB model. When it's plugged in to my PC, it turns on. However, it wont read. I've found out that when I push it in harder, it'll read, but obviously I can't keep that there. Does anyone know of a fix? submitted by /u/nathanael21688 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

The light is on and it sounds like its working but it doesn't show up in file explorer, device manager, or anything else. I've tried so many things but none of them worked. I tried it on a Windows 10 computer that I have never used the drive with and it worked instantly. It started doing this after I used it with a mac. I got it to work for a few hours yesterday by plugging it halfway, waiting a few seconds, and then putting it in fully but today it's not working. The devices it's not working on are a Windows 11 laptop and a Windows 10 PC. How do I fix this? submitted by /u/AbeVin09 [visit r ..read more

I want to store anime and movies for the next genaration on the drive, and I will keep moving files in and out on a regular basis. And I am skeptic that it costs around 120 dollars. Should I get it.? submitted by /u/Yaboku14 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I have a lot of photos and videos that I need to store onto a external hard drive, since my computer is maxed out on space. Personally, it would be nice to store them all onto one hard drive (I have over 1 TB worth of stuff) but if not possible that's okay too. Thanks in advance :) submitted by /u/mastersenpai4 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am searching for an HDD with the main focus on it being very high-volume (e.g. 18+ TB), cheap and reliable, read/write speeds do not matter much to me as I am planning to use it as a long-term storage. There are many options such as internal and external, etc. Can you give me any suggestions on what I should be looking for? submitted by /u/konstantin1122 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
