I know that alot of people have had trouble with seagate hard drives but it seems really good to put the operating system on for faster boot up

Let me know what you guys think [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

4TB is overkill. I am yet to fill 1TB.
But I would rather go with a Samsung 840 EVO 500GB SSD and a 1/2TB WD HDD

Any mechanical hard drive is finicky and prone to failure. It's relatively bad tech and won't be around much longer as the per-gigabyte cost of solid-state storage continues to decrease. There are only three manufacturers left at this point and they all make these drives as good as they can be, really.

Instead of getting a 4TB hybrid drive, get a regular 4TB drive and get an SSD separately. This is the cheapest 4TB drive I can find and you don't need to worry about speed because the SSD will take care of that.

If you want a 128 GB SSD: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Or 64 GB: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Those are the best deals I can find now.
