SSDs Essential for PC Gaming: HDDs No Longer Enough

Game developers are starting to require SSDs as a minimum spec for modern PC games, leaving behind the Xbox One and PS4 generation of consoles. Bethesda's Starfield will require 125GB of SSD storage when it debuts on September 6th, while CD Projekt Red is bumping the minimum specs of Cyberpunk 2077 to require an SSD at minimum and phasing out HDD support. This transition will be gradual, but developers are getting ready to move to a world of SSD speed and silence.

The tool is limited to Newegg's inventory and does not disclose all NAS, HDD, or SSD specs and features. However, it is a helpful starting point for NAS newcomers or advanced users seeking a basic comparison tool. The NAS Builder has 73 enclosures across five vendors and does not have rackmounts.

Study reveals Seagate and Hitachi HDDs have highest failure rates.

A recent study by Secure Data Recovery tested 2,007 broken HDDs from six manufacturers to determine their reliability and lifespan. Toshiba came out on top with an average lifespan of 34,799 hours, while Hitachi finished last with only 18,632 hours. Seagate and Western Digital HDDs clocked in around the mid-20,000-hour ranges, while Samsung scored just over 19,000 hours, barely better than Hitachi. The study also found that higher pending sector counts are an indicator that the device is headed for failure.
