HDD Configuration

PostSat Feb 13, 2021 7:29 pm

Hi there,

first my current system:

1700x
16 GB Ram
970 Evo M2 1 TB SSD

so i edit files from my motorcycle vlogs caputered by two gopro 7 Black in 2k.
i want to hold the files for about a year and then delete it. So i'm looking for a 12 TB HDD.
Which one should i choose? 5400 or 7200 upm? Fast HDD?

Does DR have any advantages from a faster hdd as long im using cache files and optimized media on the ssd?

regard from Germany

My choice would be 7200 always.
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
