I was wondering what would be the best hard drive for recording games like BF4 and Dayz and then writing them onto a disk, the disk only has to be 500gb, and my budget is £70 $114 €84,i don't care about noise.
 
Solution


Take the samsung Drive.

Yes its normal for a USB 2.0 drive to have 25MB/s USB 3.0 i have reached 100MB/s plus
