Hello I would like to get help deciding between those two hard drive which to choose:

1) HGST Travelstar 2.5-Inch 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6GB/s 32MB Cache Mobile retail kit

This hardrive is avaible is: http://www.amazon.com/HGST-Travelstar-2-5-Inch-7200RPM-Mobile/dp/B0097LG9U8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1443048115&sr=8-2&keywords=hgst+travelstar+7k1000

2) Western Digital 750 GB WD Black SATA III 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Notebook Hard Drive WD7500BPKX

This hard drive is available is: http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Black-Notebook-WD7500BPKX/dp/B00DSUTX3O/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1443048480&sr=1-1&keywords=Western+Digital+750+GB+WD+Black+SATA+III+7200+RPM+16+MB+Cache+Bulk%2FOEM+Notebook+Hard+Drive+WD7500BPKX

I am not interested in Solid State Drive at this moment. Can you please tell which hard drive will perform better for gaming and video rendering?

Can you also please tell me which of this hard drive is more reliable when it comes to performance and durability?

The Western Digital hard drive has 5 years warranty and the HGST hard drive has 3 years warranty

Thank in advance for your input

I don't think you'd notice a difference in performance, an reliability in hard drives is a crap shoot no matter who you go with. I'd probably go with the Hitachi; more capacity and more cache. Hard to argue with 5 years of warranty, though.
