"we pulled 100 students from this town in alabama to test if they know geography (this represents the us), then we pulled 10000 students from a few high league colleges in the UK to see if they know geography. The studies shown that the UK definitely knows more about geography"
unless i am mistaken, they had 1600 WD drives against 31,000 Seagate drives. The data is skewed.

Hey even when they don't fail something else does happen though, they become extremely noisy.

Im looking to buy parts for a new pc this week with a budget of like $900 and some wiggle room.

This is the build I currently have and I guess I just want suggestions/recommendations. The current build leaves me like 100 dollars that I can play around with and still be in budget.

Quoting for new page. Probably gonna buy the parts in an hour or two, looking for any other suggestions.

Well, if this was a completely random representative sample it wouldn't matter a whole lot. 1,600 is quite a large sample size when it comes to doing the actual math.

The thing is, we don't know if it was a representative sample. Maybe they got a bad batch, maybe they mistreated them, there's tons of factors which we don't know about, which bring not only this one into question but also the previous one that showed that seagate was supposedly much higher in terms of failure rate. To be honest, I don't know what to think!

Their past reports show pretty much the opposite.
Maybe Seagate finally started to get their stuff together?

If your going seagate, I would go for one of their SSHDs instead, because as far as I know WD has not made any SSHDs.

You can get the i5-6600K instead
Its faster and unlocked
But if you plan on OC'ing you also might want a cooler
Just get the 212 EVO or whatever its called

get a pentium and ditch the stuffty AMD processor

[77x5ghost2]

get a pentium and ditch the stuffty AMD processor

which pentium would you recommend?

edit: also i'm not going to overclock anything

[shitlord]

which pentium would you recommend?

my 1150 pentium was a dual core at 3.2 ghz iirc, and it had the same performance as my 6350 AMD, which was overclocked to 4.5 ghz

i even got better FPS in some games

i only have personal experience that LGA 1150 pentium but these should be fine too and better
