When looking at Seagate internal hard drives, I noticed they had Black Edition, Barracuda, etc. Western Digital also had this with Red, Black, etc. What's the difference between all of these versions?

Yep, just grab one that is 7200 rpm and doesn't cost a arm and a leg. Whatever you do for WD's don't get AV drives, they're used for something else.

I don't recall Seagate having a black edition hdd, they do have barracuda, which is the drive for desktops and runs at 7200 rpm.
They also have Constellation that's for enterprise.
WD has Black which also run at 7200 rpm but has a 5 year warranty and cost more than the Barracuda.
WD Red is for NAS, Blue is mainstream also have 7200 rpm, but 2 or 3 year warranty. Green is for Storage and runs at a slower unspecified rpm.
Black is way too expensive, grab a Seagate Barracuda or WD blue drive for storage.

Dont hesitate too much . You are not deciding between ssd and hdd . Get a good Seagate and everything is fine .
