I've been wanting to check out one of these 4tb wd blue's ever since they slyly snuck by me in the summer, didn't know they were even released till recently. Anybody have any experience with them? With modern games being so big, 1tb doesn't seem like much, and tbh I've been wanting to shy away from my 1tb seagate hdd for awhile, partly because it's pretty much full, and just so many bad reviews of them over time I've read about...guess I could put the 1tb seagate in an external case and use it to back up semi important games.
I saw the 4tb wd blue is 5400rpm....I imagine with the platter density that's not much of a concern though? I don't play any games seriously (that I know of) that would stutter on a 5400rpm hdd like I've heard "open world" games do from some reading.
Thought about a wd black hdd or hitachi as well, although the 4tb wd blacks are pretty pricey for a regular hdd personally to me, and the hitachi are generally even more expensive than the wd blacks when I looked in the past. Although I just looked and the 4tb hitachi on amazon is ~160 vs 200 for a wd black....5tb wd black is only 20 bucks more at about $220
