Hello, I am picking out parts for my new rig and i just wanted to know what is the fastest and/or most reliable hard drive. I will be using it for games and other non important things while the OS will be on a Samsung 840 128 Gb SSd.
Here is a very reliable HDD for a decent price. I personally love the Western Digital Black Series. I have owned quite a few and have never had any issues. Just remember that if you have sensitive information that you don't want to lose, you should have the info on multiple drives, because drives do fail.
It doesn't matter. The difference is MINOR for data storage. It would only be noticeable for a boot drive and since @HoboPoro is using a SSD for the boot drive, speed is irrelevant. I wouldn't waste an extra premium for Black.
