Performance affecting size?

[tinpanalley]

Last time I bought a hard drive for backup stoage reasons, I was told, nothing over 2TB was really tested enough to know whether they could last in larger sizes. Are we still at a place where one has to be careful over 2TB?

No, large drives are fine. Just dont attemp to use them for a Windows installation. Linux I'm not so sure.

I'm using a 10Tb drive for all my movies and music and photos. No issues. But important stuff I still keep backed up on a thumb drive. Cuz I'm still paranoid.

Ok, thanks.
I wish I could change my typo in the title. Wanted it to say "Performance affectING size". Any idea how to do that?

You can edit the title, top right drop down menu for the thread.
