Would have liked some RE7 tests also in regards to texture streaming.
There's long been issues with publications using that Backblaze report, even Blackblaze have stated that.
I use Backblaze myself and they're always very open information about this and I'm often getting invitations to webinars and analysis that they've held. The latest one was for their Year in Review on 2nd February which will cover...
They're always incredibly open about information such as this and how that information should be used by people if it is to be of any value.
The report that keeps getting raised in relation to the Seagate drives is now old and illustrates why Backblaze have so many failures, their business model is just replacing the failed drives with another consumer drive. It's just far more cost effective for them to do that than it is for them to spend more money on enterprise drives which could last longer.
The data illustrates the effectiveness of their business model far more than it illustrates the failure rate of a consumer drive used in the environment that it was designed to be used in. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that Backblaze report but it keeps getting used in ways that presents the data as something that it isn't.
It's clearly not there ultimate upgrade when the SSD still outperforms it
Exactly, where I said I took issue. That's why I said that I took issue there.Where do you see issue ? Even if they are abusing drives to the point normal user will never do some drives don't have much problems showing they can take the abuse.
OK, not sure why you're telling me this?Considering price difference between brands is minimal I'd rather have drive that can take enterprise class workload reliably.
Well it's most cost effective.
I don't really care for improvements in 1-2 minutes in loading
Are there any contraindications to buy one 3TB drive? I've heard the machine does not read above 2TB of applications even if they are installed and does not do rest-mode?
It's the one I've got in my PS4 Pro. Just a shame that the higher capacity models are too thick for the Playstation.
I've got one of these, and I'll be honest, I haven't noticed any substantial changes in load times.
The performance benefit will mostly come from reloading, instead of the first time loads you get as you play through a game.
Wonder how much better is a 7200rpm drive with a more consistent speed increase. If it takes 5 reload to see the benefit then its kind of useless for me since I switch between games all the time.

I'm content with the 1 TB HGST Travelstar 7200 rpm drive I originally bought for my OG PS4. HGST drives have a low explosion rate, unlike Seagates.
Then again, if I ever got BF1 it would be the PC version which would be loaded off a full-blown SSD so I'm not exactly the target for this article.
This... Or repeated fast traveling in open world games (looking at you, ffxv).

Where and how can I put a enclosure on this?You can slap an enclosure on one of these and make it an external drive.
This is the way! They don't cost much either.You can slap an enclosure on one of these and make it an external drive.
