I'd like to be able to record gameplay with DXTory but I need a hard drive with a higher write drive than the one I have. Mine reaches about 45mb/s on DXTory but I'd like one that can reach 80mb/s+. I'd also like it to be 1TB. Any suggestions?

I think it is 7200 RPM
 
A 7200 RPM drive should be faster than that. What make and model is your hard disk? A 1TB Western Digital Black should meet your requirements, but larger drives often are faster.

My device manager says it is a ST31000524NS ATA Device.

Yeah I was considering an SSD. My PC however should be powerful enough to have a good write speed.
My CPU is AMD FX8350
My GPU is Nvidia GTX 970
 
The CPU is powerful enough. I checked this review http://www.hardwarepal.com/nvidia-shadowplay-vs-fraps-vs-dxtory-review-benchmark/ and read the comments; one poster claims that a different codec creates much smaller files. The larger they are, the faster the storage needs to be to keep up.
