whats the dry storage versus the cooler storage? how much dry storage as well?

Realistically, this backpack can hold about 8-10 soda cans in the cooler pocket. The front (non-cooler) pocket is good for your wallet, keys, cell phone and smaller items. The narrower back (non-cooler) pocket has about as much room as the cooler pocket, however, the back pocket is a tad bit taller. I have recently started using this as a 'diaper bag', wherein I can store bottles of milk, diapers, wipes, blanket, etc, all in a comfortable-wearing back pack. It has padding on back side with breathable netting. I would certainly recommend purchasing this back pack. Alone, it is quite light-weight and serves its purpose well.

Seagate vs WD. I've used them both over the years, along with Maxtor. For myself and some people Seagate=good and WD=bad, and for others, just the opposite. What's interesting in these comments is that the usage habits are not known, i.e., how intensely is the hard drive being accessed (applications, pro versus consumer, etc), and, in what environment is the hard drive being used (air quality, room temperature, humidity, appropriate case cooling, physical vibration, etc.). Those are the useful comparatives that would help in these reviews. Otherwise, it's just comparing one's FOTD (flavor of the day). Seagate vs WD.

To my knowledge, what you mentioned above is the only differences between the two. I'm personally leaning towards the 700D myself. The hard drives are securerly mounted without the use of gimmerky hotswap bays, that are known to break, in the 700D. Also the 700D is known to have better air cooling amongst customer reviews. How accurate they are is another question.

1 TB hard drive with an 8gb solid state drive for quick start up and almost instant loading of frequently visited sites, also known as express cache. Its fast!

I would recommend having at least 1 gigabyte or less for game saves, if you want to install it you need at least 10 gigabytes of storage.

I can't tell you exactly because I have not ever gone to the end. But I am taping a 3 hour session and a 2 hour session together and have no problems. I am then storing on the 2nd drive (a have a 16 GB micro SD installed, not included) and it has held about 20 3 hour session and still has tons of storage. (That's 60 hours with a lot to spare).

Depends on what youre trying to store. Typically, for normal/average use, then it should be fine for quite some time. A full computer backup, without any files, is about 13GB of space.I purchased the 2TB...the bigger the better. But, I store a lot of movies, TV shows, and music.

I bought storage of 120G+ But it is easy to buy a storage device (like external hard drive, or thumb drive etc.) if you need more.

The short answer is as much as you can afford. Memory is the biggest slowdown of systems after the hard drive access times (which are not going to change anytime soon). 64GB would be 16GB sticks which are terribly expensive so it it were me, I'd stick with 8GB sticks for a total of 32GB until the 16s come down in price. Nowdays with poorly behaved programs (like Chrome) that takes as much memory as available, more is better.

If your friend just needs it for music, then go with the 30 gig. I bought the 80 gig version, but it's complete overkill for me. I don't watch video on it, or even store photos. I keep about 4,500 songs on there, and it maybe takes up 15gigs or so. You can never have enough space, which is a fact for electronics, so I bought the 80 gig version for myself. If your friend is really into video or photos, then definitely get the 80gig version.

11.5" I use mine (I have 2) for dry storage. Highly recommend as I have not lost any food or paper products due to moisture. Cannot answer for cold storage but see no reason that it would work great. I use a Yeti for cooler but they are quite expensive for dry storage.

I have a 350 gig that I have been storing on for 3 years... it is only 1/3 of the way full. 1 T8 has over 3 times the storage... I scan and save 1000 pages a day for 5 days a week..Hope this helps.

If you need more space to store data then you need a bigger (or an extra) hard drive. The CPU determines how fast the computer can make calculations (which is all computers really do, after all), while the RAM (Memory) determines how much data the computer can work with at any given time without having to pause and read from the hard drive (basically, it can get complicated).So, if you need to store more data, more hard drive space is what you need. If your computer gets bogged down easily or you run a lot of apps at once, get more RAM. As for the CPU, meh, all modern CPUs are so fast anyway (and expensive) that you're probably better off not bothering.

I don't have any experience with either of these programs, but being that it is solid state and 1Tb you should not have any storage problems. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Sorry, I run Windows, don't do "I" products, the actual available storage is slightly less than 500GB's, so if you need 500 I'd go bigger, there is a 750 & a 1TB on Amazon

I use this 4TB HDD for storage only. For gaming where you won't be using it so much for storage, I'd use a smaller HDD storage size (250gb or less) as it will track much faster and cut down on the latency time. Better yet for hard core gaming I suggest a solid state drive (over a mechanical HDD) instead. I use a 250 gb Sandisk HDD for my operating system and use the Western Digital 4TB as a second drive to store my files on.
