Hello,
I have a 2010 Mac pro machine with two 2TB HDD Hitachi HDS722020ALA330 which have to be replaced. What kind of hd do you recommend me to replacement the old ones. I am not a computer genius as you are and need your help.
Thanks a lot.
Alex

I would put in one sdd of 512gb and one normal hdd of 4tb.
Now you have the speed for your osx and the storage for your data

Excellent answer and exactly what I did using an OWC drive sled. Tried a 256 GB drive first but have gotten used to the greater storage on the MacPros and moved to a 512GB I used a https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20...
I agree the best bang for the Buck!
Just be careful on what HD and SSD you put in these older systems. As they only have a SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) drive interface, so what ever you put in make sure it supports this SATA I/O speed (review the drives spec sheet).
Thank you very much guys. My second HD works as a mirror which I keep as a backup data. So i need two hd work the same way.
One of them is 2TB HDD Hitachi HDS722020ALA330
the second one is WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0
You should use the exact same drive for the mate drive in a mirrored drive setup.
If you don't there are some issues! As an example you have a 1 TB drive and a 750 GB drive mirrored. Then only 750 GB of space will be available on the 1TG as it needs to be a match the smaller drive. You can also get into copy errors as unmatched drives can have different track & cylinder layouts and/or the speed of the drives can fight as one will always fall behind!
Don't get me wrong I love mirrored drive sets! I only do them in a matched pair!
Even still I would setup a third drive (SSD) as your OS drive
Try a 2 TB Solid state drive. You'll get faster boot up time and much needed speed.
