I am from India. And using BSNL Broadband over here using D-Link DSL2750U Wi-Fi Router. Currently I am using one bandwidth monitor usage that shows me all the uploads/downloads data but on my PC. But we guys are also using Laptops, other smartphones via Wi-Fi. So can anyone please tell how to...

Thanks for the article link. That clears everything :)

Just gone through PCRiver site. Looks good but one question - Does all the downloadable ISO of MS Windows provided there are original untouched ISO's by Microsoft?

So you mean to say I can't use any hdd above 2tb with MBR even if I partition. Am I right? And what about in case of external HDD's - like I am planning to buy wd my p.ultra 4tb. Wouldn't I be able to use that one also in my system? (they don't require initializing)

Are you sure? So what if I buy a 4tb hdd and then make 2 partitions of 2tb each with MBR - then would it be Okay?

Hmm alright mate. Lemme know what you end up buying :)

Overkill definitely for home use. Better go with any decent SSD which will give you a performance boost. My suggestion buy - Transcend SSD 370s 256GB

Yeah in Windows disk drives with MBR Partitioning can detect upto only 2.19 TB. SO better to split into 2 drives of 2 TB each. Similarly for 8 tb drive - Make 4 partitions worth 2 TB each from disk management.

May I know in which country you live? Anyhow, you can always import products. Amazon US. Well, since the deciding factor is price and you're looking for "traditional" SATA - then I would say you should go with WD Blue (upto 6tb) for the reliability/longevity purpose and sell your WD Black since...

That explains everything. Thanks for the detailed explanation. Initially, I was planning to get Samsung 950 NVMe- thinking my OS boot up time/file transfers will be faster than a regular ssd, say - from 10 sec to 3-4, but now as you said it would be in milliseconds - so that's not worth spending...

I can see you've 32gb RAM and i7. I repeat, just go with Crucial MX300. That would be apt for you. Leave the M.2 thing. Even I am planning to buy a SSD, but my requirement is not upto 1TB's. I would keep my OS/programs/games into SSD and other media stuffs into my HDD. And for that, I am...

Buy Crucial MX300 1TB. Best in price-performance ratio. :)

NVMe drives like 950 pro. But would there be better performance in real world scenarios? Except benchmarking

As I can see, you need 1 TB. Then go with the following (these are the best in serial order) - 1. Samsung 850 Pro 1TB 2. Sandisk Extreme Pro 1TB 3. Samsung 850 Evo 1TB

@techne : My answer is NO. Always go with trusted brand when it comes to storage. My suggestion would be to choose from one of these - Samsung>Crucial>Sandisk>Transcend>Mushkin
