Pros

Cons

  • It is entirely possible your download speed is limited by your HDD’s speed. In fact your PC cannot download data faster than it can save.
  • The write speed of this HDD should be enough to be higher. I will have to check and use it with an SSD
  • 2TB HDD is poor value. Start with the SSD, add a 4-8TB hard drive later if you need it.
  • I personally don’t run HDDs anymore but if you need media storage it’s not a bad call, I just don’t keep anything on my PC except games.
