Hi, I'm stuck with Seagate BarraCuda 2TB ST2000DM006 and Western Digital Blue 2TB WD10EZRX

Seagate's is 7200rpm and WD's is 5200rpm
Which one should I buy?

For storing movies, blue is good.
But, for loading games and such you may want the slightly faster data transfer rate of a 7200 rpm drive.

Seagates are typically fast and quiet with questionable reliability. I have one Seagate 3 TB that has been going 3 years without issue, and my brother has several 1 TB Seagates that have been fine as well, but I also had a batch of bad Seagate SSHDs that continually failed - I went through 4 RMAs before I gave up.

WDs are typically slower (aside from Black) and loud, but reliable.
