Overview
A gaming desktop with a spare drive bay is the home for this drive. A fast spin speed and a large cache are aimed at quicker game loading, and the drive works with PC and Mac.
The reason to buy is large capacity and good sequential speed for a game library or media archive. The limit is the noise and slower random access of any mechanical drive.
Who it's for
A desktop builder pairing a small SSD with a big game drive will use it as intended. Laptop owners, console users and anyone after near-immediate loading should choose flash storage.
Pros and cons
- Large capacity for a game library
- Fast spin speed
- Large cache listed
- Acronis software included
- Mechanical, slower than an SSD
- Louder than flash storage
- Desktop bay required
Performance notes
A faster spin speed shortens the wait for the disk head to reach data, and the cache smooths short bursts of reads. Sequential speed suits large game files and media. Many small files, as at boot, load slower than on an SSD.
