So ived been looking at many threads here but cant seem to find a good answer..

I recently started doing more youtube gaming, im using fuld version of dxtory and its working good, my current hhd i use for recordings still works but its only around 400gb lol...meaning i need to delete often :)
Im pretty sure i wont need the black series since its ONLY gonna be for recordings and rendering vids, no progs or anything is gonna be installed on it.
I was considering the wd red 3tb version but not sure yet :)
My current recording hhd according to dxtory can do around 100 mb write speed and that works fine so i dont need insane write speed, just MORE space hehe :)

roughly around 90 pounds for red, and 140+ for the black...im just thinking its overkill getting the black?

i mean if i was going for an OS and all that i would get the black no doubt, but im running 2x ssd`s one for os and progs, another one for games only :)

ye my bad but like i said, nothing is gonna be going on on the drive unless i record or render vids..

p.s. : ived been seing some horror stories about the parking system thing with the drives, should i be worried that my drive will fail after a few years?
