好似只淨3間廠，WD, Seagate, Toshiba
WD同Seagate大D。
Seagate易死，又名死雞，但我用咁多隻都無死。
基本上重要野要BACKUP，Backup平過救DATA。
我基本上Toshiba 4T企業+WD Gold 4T 或 Toshiba 5TB+ Seagate 5TB，兩隻同時打柴機會，應該同中六合彩差不多。
至於超重要例如相片，雙3TB硬碟再加一年一BD備份，其中一份放埋上Cloud應該萬無一失。

You generally need at least two HDDs for a typical home desktop build
One mainly for system/programs/applications, the other for data dump/storage

For C:drive, a good 1TB HDD (enterprise grade highly suggested) should be good enough esp. if you dedicate it for system/program resources only
Don't get pressured into getting SSDs becuz it needs a whole new (or different) mindset maintaining such drive, and if your original system OS is still XP/Vista then it's NOT compatible

Regarding brand suggestion, Suckgate (Seagate), WD and HGST all have better grade HDDs
But for Suckgate, always get the enterprise ones (Constellation ES3) as standard ones have serious QC issues and high failure rates
As for  WD, RE4 would be recommended
Not too sure about HGST's enterprise lineup so you're on your own

Most new system use 7, 10.
SSD is much faster when you start up your devices and games.

no mind the speed,just play game/web aaccess always.

Stable is must.

Check OP's profile and previous posts
Apparently OP's old desktop is still on XP
