He's looking for a replacement and originally I suggested the Crucial m500 120gb SSD for his boot drive for windows 7 and get a WD Blue 1tb since they're decent and only 60 bucks.
I've never had a HDD die on me in personal experience, are the Blacks not as good as people hype them up to be? It has to literally be the best touted HDD I've heard of when reading online, yet in reviews I see them dying just as much as the "crappy" Seagate barracudas that people like to rag on.
He changed his mind and is set on getting the 240gb Crucial m500 SSD with a 1tb WD Black HDD as the storage drive for his games. I think he should save 20 bucks and just get a WD Blue HDD.
What has been everybody's personal experience with the new 1tb platter 7200rpm 64mb cache WD Blue HDD compared to WD Black 1tb? It seems the Black isn't as infallible as people make it out to be. I thought of finding him a WD RE4 hdd as they're enterprise grade, but the price is too much, he could get a 3tb seagate for the same price as a 1tb RE4
for the same price as the WD Black 1tb costs, he could get a 2tb seagate barracuda, but I've honestly heard of those HDD's dropping like flies too. I guess it's good there's really nothing of great value I keep on the HDD, just steam games and pics/music , same as him. It saddens me to pay for a HDD and it just die out of nowhere.
