I am looking to buy a harddrive for my gaming pc i assembled the other day. Right now, I'm using an old one and it is very, very slow. Was wondering if this would be a good choice? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LNJBA2I/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=pc2_24_18-20&linkId=b431f8fec9c4fb199f23b3fc8a23cc0b or can you suggest one for me under 60 dollars(a 1tb one) that would be fast.

My computer specs are ryzen 2400g, a b350 tomahawk motherboard red led, ballistix sport 8 gb 2400 ram, and im using a cooler master masterbox pro 5 rgb , if it matters.

Hello marquisheard87. First of all thank you for considering Seagate. The Barracuda drive will do the job that you require and fits within your budget nicely and the drive comes with Multi Tier Caching Technology.

This basically means that games and cut scenes load faster and as for storage, you can store up to 40 games per TB (at 25GB per game).

In general, WD is better: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Similar price on Amazon too. Add a ~250 gb ssd later if you don't have the budget now.

Comments on your rig: ram too slow, 2666 at least and 3200 preferred and make it dual channel instead of single stick.
