Oh, that's right. Nice catch! I can probably repurpose a 256GB SSD I have, can't I? Should be enough for OS + utilities
The plan is to get more down the road, this is a starter setup! 4TB are enough for all my data at the moment, and the second drive is for backup; I will add a third drive for redundancy and that should be enough as a starter
edit: forgot to mention that I'm not USA-based, sorry! Wow, US prices are amazing. In my country that one is just a little less expensive, adjusted for capacity (the ones I picked are 4TB and 120, the Barracuda is 8TB and 205)! That's a bummer haha but thanks for the suggestion! edit: let me check the 4TB though edit2: now that's better, the 4TB is only 89 compared to 120 needed for the IronWolf
Yeah, the only thing they say is "For Ryzen Series APUs (Cezanne and Renoir), ECC is only supported with PRO CPUs.". That's why I didn't pick a Ryzen with integrated GPU (I can't find PRO models in my country). 2666 speed is supported, so those RAM I picked should work. Thanks!
Yes, those are cheaper but I also want reliability, so I prefer spending a bit more for the actual storage to get something known to be good!
The ones I picked are part # WD40EFRX, so CMR according to that image you linked. It's just that PCPP doesn't call them WD Red Plus, but they are. In the end I think I'll go with the IronWolf instead, since they're not that much more expensive, but more loved by the community! Thanks
Data hoarding haha I know it's not ideal, and I will build a NAS at some point, but at the moment high-res, high-fps, high-details gaming is a priority!
