I've been searching the web and forums for the last few hours and couldn't find any definitive answers on this issue.
I am looking for a secondary hard drive that will be used for storing data(of course). I also want to start with some video editing and possibly install some games(Diablo 3, Starcraft) on it. I have an SSD for windows and intense games like BF4.
I've been looking back and forth at Seagates and Western Digital. I've been using WD for quite some time and am pretty happy with each HD I have purchased with them.
I can't decide whether or not the $60 price different between Green and Black versions of the WD hard drives. I read that the Green is "intellispeed" which is between 5400-6400RPM. Is this enough for accessing large video files? I currently have an old WD 500GB 5400RPM and don't really like the performance of it.
What do you guys recommend?
2TB Green - $85

2TB Black - $145

Or any other recommendations?
