Hey guys, I've been thinking about buying a high-end HDD for my main rig.

The OS will be stored in my Samsung EVO 750 and the games, videos and recordings on the HDD.

Right now I've got three options:

Either a WD Black 4TB
iA3xTa

Two WB Gold 2TB in Raid 0
mVuhuF

Or whichever HDD that can give me more performance than the last two options.

TIA!

hantu_yt00 Were it me, I'd choose a single WD Gold HDD + Intel Optane 32GB (storage cache). The Optane will cost $80 USD. It would be helpful if you listed your full specs. You'll need a M.2 slot and a kaby lake or coffee lake motherboard & CPU. Watch and read these reviews, to learn more about Intel Optane technology. The other HDD line that I would consider is the WD Red Pro. Currently I'm personally divided between both Gold and Red.
