western digital has made SMR red drives without telling
nas users do not want SMR so western digital had a fall from grace
Be careful wen you buy western digital drives

I run seagate skyhawk, they are cheaper depending on capacity and are rated for 24/7

Don`t get me wrong it is upsetting to get blue screens a week down the line

As that psu has been around for awhile and might be a couple of years old
Are are giving advice to save £30 to someone that spent £2500 on a graphic card ?
His build does not sound like a budget one
And you advise a 1KW PSU as well
Willie the question about coil whine, i am not aware if the psu helps or not
But the PSU will wine as well to some extent
Built a system for a friend with a x570 motherboard
Same as you the bios will revert to default settings
Flashing an older bios fixed the problem for him
A couple of years ago i saved £40 by getting a 550W over a 850W
