I am looking for a new Hard drive because mine is quite old. I wanted to know weather i should get a seagate barracuda or a WD black. I play a lot of games and was wondering which one is better?

The graph below should answer your question rather emphatically... and no it's not close. To answer ya question tho, the best kind of HD to get is a HD with a built in SSD (aka SSHD).

Seagate Desktop SSHD 2 TB - 9.76 MB/s (54% faster)
Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB - 6.34 MB/sec

We have used nothing else for going on 7 years and all of them are still in service....the older ones have been relegated to off-site storage.
