Hey guys so I currently have a shitty Hitachi 5400 1.5TB hard drive.
My system starts up pretty damn slow from shutdown, and I am using Windows 8.
I tried purchasing a barracuda 2GB with the 1GB platters, but the boot time and load times on some games really did not impress me. I did fresh install Windows 7 instead of 8 on that drive, but still was surprised at how slow things seemed for a 7200 drive.
I want a fast hard drive that will give me increased boot times and will be good for gaming.
i am cool with just 1TB if it will help save me money, I sort of want to stay under 100 dollars because I am also buying a 780 tonight and am going to be dropping about 500 on that. I have heard good things about WD, but am confused which wil be better for my needs for gaming and what not, the blue or black.
I would prefer to order on NewEgg because I am getting my 780 from them as well and can pick up at the warehouse in City of Industry. Thanks a lot guys!
One more thing: Will I notice a huge difference at all with any of the 7200 rpm? Or am I better off just saving my money and trying to increase the performance on this drive? I am wondering if maybe part of the reason bootup seemed slow on the 7200 rpm was because I put Windows 7 on it (Although I do want to run Windows 7 instead of Windows 8, but I am cool with keeping Windows 8 if it has that much better boot times)
