How to Pick the Right Internal Hard Drive

Choosing the best internal hard drive for a PC depends on your storage requirements, performance expectations, and intended use. Here's what to consider before you buy:

Capacity and purpose

• For everyday use, a 1TB or 2TB internal HDD is ideal.
• For content creators, gamers, or professionals handling large files, larger capacities up to 26TB ensure smooth operation and plenty of space.
• For gaming, choose the best internal hard drive for gaming with faster RPM speeds and high cache memory to reduce load times.

Performance and RPM speed
HDD performance is determined by rotation speed, measured in revolutions per minute (RPM).

• 7,200 RPM drives offer faster data transfer and loading times.
• 5,400 RPM drives are quieter and more energy-efficient — great for backup and NAS setups.

Interface and compatibility
Most modern hard drives use the SATA interface for easy installation and broad compatibility with PCs and servers. When upgrading, ensure your motherboard supports the same interface type.

Usage type: desktop, NAS, or enterprise

• Desktop drives are great for general use and gaming.
• Internal hard drives for NAS (Network Attached Storage) are optimised for 24/7 operation and data redundancy.
• Enterprise models offer durability for business workloads.

HDD vs SSD - Which is better?
While HDDs provide superior capacity at lower prices, SSDs offer faster speed and responsiveness. If performance is your top priority, check out our internal SSDs for speed and reliability or pair both for a balanced setup, SSD for your OS and HDD for bulk storage.

Expand your storage ecosystem
Complement your storage setup with additional options:

• Portable HDDs for extra space - perfect for backups and travel.
• External SSDs for on-the-go storage - fast, compact, and durable.
• USB sticks for quick file transfers - ideal for sharing and portability.

By understanding these factors, you can easily find the best internal hard drive for your PC, one that fits your speed, capacity, and reliability needs.
