Do you need a good hard drive to stream to Twitch?

I recently started streaming on Twitch and a few days ago my hard drive crashed, but it was already at least 10 years old, so you've seen the end coming, even before I started streaming. Now I have temporarily installed a hard drive from a laptop of my friend, namely the Toshiba HDD2H82 with 500GB memory. Since streaming a big hobby has become of me, I would not like to do without it in the near future, but I'm afraid that I could break the hard disk by streaming, since it does not belong to me. On the Internet, I find nothing about the fact that you need a specific hard drive at all. I'm a bit unsure, but maybe someone here can call me more accurate or whether my current stream is enough.

Your hard drive has so little to do. It depends on your internet connection.

You only need the hard drive to load the games.

Okay thank you. Yes I have a 200K line with 12mb upload, so that was enough so far in any case.

That's enough THICK: 'D

The hard drive could only have a negative effect on the stream if the data transfer rate is truly subterranean.

But that would generally affect the overall performance of your computer and you would have noticed in other areas guaranteed.

Best between times always check the line via speed test. Maybe you just have a few fluctuations in it right now and it has nothing to do with the hard drive.

Was similar here, as the telecom has tinkered over several days on the distribution boxes.

What CPU, RAM & GPU do you have?

This is the hard drive that I currently own. I do not know what a normal hard drive has for a data transfer or what is underground. Maybe you can just tell me if that's the case with mine.

I have no other problems and also the speed test shows me nothing extraordinary.

Standard notebook hard drive with 5400 revolutions. It should not really be that.

CPU: AMD FX-8370

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX750 ti

RAM: 16 GB divided into 4x4

I do not stream lavish games, so far only Rocket League and Csgo and even Ark has worked, although it is elaborate. Has worked great so far, only since I have the other HDD drinne, it does not work anymore. I start the stream and it starts already that I start to lay in the TeamSpeak and others can't understand any more.

And it can't be coincidental, because I have not installed the hard drive in a notebook, but in my PC case that it changes anything in the performance?

No. Unless the built-in PC something would be broken, which has to do with the hard drive (cable, chip,.), but even then it would be strange if that only affects the streaming.
But never say never: In the more than 30 years of working with PCs, I've seen the strangest things. There were built-in components "bitten" where you would not have expected it.
Still very unlikely.

Hmm okay, all right. Then I have to see if it might be due to a setting in my streaming program, which I had overlooked. Unfortunately I had to reset everything. But actually I have already gone through everything twice and three times.

My OBS is zb. On C, on its own hard drive. While my games are on D (own SSD) or E (own HDD). But the hard drive itself usually has no significant influence on the streaming.

However, if you want to make a recording and play & storage are on the same hard drive / partition, then the hard drive is usually not behind between writing & reading.

To stream your hardware is not necessarily more suitable.
Unfortunately, your memory does not say much because it is always interesting how fast it is?

I have always had only one hard drive in my PC. But partitioning sounds interesting. Schonmal heard of it, but not thought of it and do not know how it works.

I know that my hardware is not the newest, but until a few days ago everything went like clockwork and the games I play, I play even on the lowest graphics, no matter if I have streamers or not and ingame had little loss need while streaming. Of course I had a little less fps, but that had been acceptable.

So in CPU-Z I get an NB frequenzy of: 2208 MHz

and a DRAM frequenzy of 669 MHz is displayed

Do not know what's important, or if it's the right thing I've just tried to find out for you.

Japp, Windows has been completely rebuilt.

Did it actually managed to create a partition. Only I just have a problem with OBS, my streaming program to postpone, or I have moved it, only now when I open the program a Sytemfehlerig displayed: The execution of the code can't be continued because ffmpeg.dll not found has been. Reinstalling the program may solve the problem.

Reinstallation would not be a problem in itself, but just make me out there, because I have little desire to have to make all the settings again.

You seem to have made a mistake when he spits out such a mistake. You also usually have to change the appropriate registry entry if you simply move programs without a choice. The registry is like an open-heart surgery, dangerous.

Please also do not forget that you are still on the same hard drive a partition more sorting / order serves.

Personally, I recommend you to save money & you set up a completely new and, above all, better system. Starting with a Ryzen 7 of the 2000er generation or better and 16 GB RAM with at least 3000 Mhz.

The problem is solved. I Dussel had just forgotten to install my NEN Gafikkartentreiber and since I stream over my video card, it had not worked.

Now I can stream again easily.

Thank you anyway for your effort. In any case, you will also win a star of mine!

Always a pleasure!
