I'm building a high end PC using a Samsung 840 Pro SSD as the primary OS drive. Now, I'm trying to decide on what hard drive to use for storage.
Will I notice a difference in performance between a WD Black vs something like a Seagate Barracuda (or WD Green), if I'm only using it for storage? Reason I ask is because I want a 2TB drive, but the WD Black one is almost $140, and you can get a Barracuda/WD Green for around $80 (in addition to Hitachi/Toshiba). I've also heard that Barracudas have a higher failure rate, so I'm looking for something reliable.
I want to have high performance, but if they'd perform about the same, then it would seem more wise to put that extra money toward something else. What HDD would you recommend?
