What HDD should I get? WD or Seagate BarraCuda?

EfoDom · Dec 28, 2017

I've recently built my first gaming pc. https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/qkB46X + seasonic s12-520 f. I want to get a new 1 tb HDD because the 250 gb SSD is not quite enough. I would put games that I wouldn't play that often on the HDD along with files and photos. I think 1tb will be enough. Which HDD from these should I buy? (If you have any other HDD suggestion I'll be happy to hear them).

WD HDD BLUE 1TB WD10EZEX http://hdd.userbenchmark.com/WD-Blue-1TB-2012/Rating/1779
Seagate Barracuda 1TB (ST1000DM010) http://hdd.userbenchmark.com/Seagate-Barracuda-1TB-2016/Rating/3896
SEAGATE BARRACUDA 2,5" 1TB ST1000LM048
Seagate Barracuda 1TB, ST1000LM048
Seagate Barracuda ST 1000 DM 003 3,5 1000GB ST1000DM003 http://hdd.userbenchmark.com/Seagate-Barracuda-720014-1TB/Rating/1849

I'm lost in all those different types of models of Seagate. I just want the HDD to be relatively fast and not that loud. Thanks in advance.

Some of those you are looking at are the older models you should look at the newer models. Hard drives are generally all the same unless you want to get hybrid harddrive . You should look at these
https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-BarraCuda-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST1000DM010/dp/B01LNJBA2I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1514459285&sr=8-3&keywords=seagate+barracuda+1tb
https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Cache-Desktop-Drive-WD10EZEX/dp/B0088PUEPK/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1514459319&sr=1-2&keywords=western+digital+1tb

They are all basically the same just get the cheaper one.

I recommend WD over Seagate - - reliability is higher with WD in my opinion (based on my personal experience of using both brands over the past 20 years).

marksavio :

I was in fact referring to the real world, my personal experience - - you can't get more real world than that :sarcastic:

Your experience with those brands has evidently been different to mine - - that's bound to happen.

It doesn't change one iota which brand I'll continue to recommend.
