The real question is: How many bf4 DLC's can you fit on a 120gb 840 evo.
LOL. But for real, you need enough room for you games. You want a hdd that can do 70MBps read and at least 60MBps write.

It's simple, the question is for you to answer.
The amount of space that YOU will need really depends on what YOU want to do, what games YOU want to play, and if YOU're going uninstall games very frequently.

I would recommend WD Black, Toshiba or a Seagate.
Blue, green etc have poor performance.
I have a Toshiba (former Hitachi) 1 TB, read/write speeds of 170/150 megs.

In IOmeter the Blue rules. Random reads/writes. But the other tests I checked, seagate constellation rules those. Toshiba not far behind. Then comes the WD Black.
WD Velociraptor I would say is too expensive to be an option for desktops.
It is EZEX for the single-platter drive

Quite interesting reading. Constellation-drives seem to fail a lot.
I just skimmed thru but they don't say if its from vibrations, heat or something else.

They use a super slim writer, made of tin instead of ceramic for "precision writes" and i think its 6 platters for 1tb. The heat made from all the drives causes the tin to soften and then you get alota Byte 00000000
