Hi,

I am nearly finished with my gaming build. Now I only need a HDD to expand my storage. My budget and usage of the HDD is explained below:
Budget: £60 price range
Space: Should be at least 1 Terrabyte
Usage: Mainly storing games / videos / pictures
Side notes: It would be great if the HDD is fast as well as stable.

I will implement the HDD into this build:

You will hear some pros and cons with every drive and with every components, but that is not real world situation. Anyways if warranty matters then go with the WD one. Its a newly introduced drive, its more fast than previous series of drives, and the higher density of platters make's it reliable too.

So basically its your choice, go with either one, you cant go wrong. Good luck.

Hi Lonewolf7,

Thanks for the suggestion but the seagate has some negative reviews and only 1 year warranty whereas the WD has 5 year warranty but hardly any reviews. Are you positive that the WD is good?

Best Regards
