Hello, I just joined the nation of PC Master Race, I’m still playing with a controller so I’m not a full on NERD YET, getting there.

Here’s the skinny I need to replace my 2tb HDD, mainly used for media, music, movie files. I don’t run any programs off of it, but I may use it as drive for cached adobe premiere files.

I have three other ssd drives, that I install games on. I got a top of the line PC, I can run pci 5.0 drives with ease.

These are the two drives I’m looking at

SAMSUNG SSD 9100 TB - I can get this bad boy for a smooth 200 bucks, got some money saved up, all I would have to pay is 200 more and I could take it home.

Or

WD 4TB 3.5 GAMING BLACK HDD - all I’d have to pay is an extra 400 bucks. This seems like more space but still and 3.5 and I kind of wanted to go all ssd, but not sure if that the write move with the state of the SSD.

My current 2TB HDD I’ve had for years, can’t even think about how long I’ve had it, maybe 10 years or so, still a good drive I’d say.

What do you all think, which would be the best drive for the long haul and why.
