So I´m looking for a 2TB HDD to store my games and random programms. I have an SSD for the OS so that won´t be going on here.
The numbers (r/w speed) on the Seagate drive look better and it´s 50€ cheaper -infact I could get the 3TB version and still save money, but it´s meant for surveilance systems (does that make a difference?)
and all the gamers/forums seem to like the WD Black drives allot.
So which one is actually better/faster for gaming and Desktop apps, is the WD Black worth the 50€ extrta?
 
Solution
I would just go with WD BLACK, as you said seagate drive you mentioned is for CCTV ETC, so it wouldn't really benefit you. I have ordered two WD 4 TB BACK for my system.
