Hi,
I'm looking to replace my two 11 year old (yes, they still work fine) SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s HDDs in my desktop. As you may have guessed, it's been a while since I looked into HDDs. I did update many components of my desktop a while back, including the motherboard, CPU and graphics card and added an SSD. However, now that both of my external hard-drives have filled up and I'm at risk of losing files, I think it's time to make an investment.
The current motherboard is an Asus Z170-A.
I was looking at getting two WD Blue 4TB PC Hard Drive - 5400 RPM Class, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD40EZRZ for around €100 each and I got close to buying them, but then decided to look at 8GB options to see if there were any around the same price per GB.
That's when I came across what I think is an excellent deal on 8TB HGST Ultrastar He10 4Kn ISE (0F27505 / HUH721008ALN600) at €220 each. They seem to be much faster at nearly the same price per GB and I'd only need to get one for now.
Question is, are they compatible with my Asus Z170-A?
All the information I've seen online points to these being meant for enterprise, but is there anything stopping me from using them in a rinky-dink tower?
Let me know what you think!
Thanks
