Hello! So I need a little bit of advice.

Hello. I can give a little advice

Oh crap (facepalm). Didn't post it correctly, sorry |-(. So, I need a little advice in buying a HDD. I want a Hdd with a quite good performance and 1tb capacity. It could be perfect to fit in 95$. I have got already one kingston v200 ssd (60GB).

Ah, nice move pairing up ssd and hdd.

Ok, so there's this beaut. 7200 rpm, 5 year warranty http://pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd1002faex

But you can cheap out and go for http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st1000dm003

 

[ssddx]

western digital caviar black 7200rpm 1tb sata II or III (doesnt matter which)

or you have the option of buying a samsung spinpoint f3 as well.

Hmmm, In my small country, there are dramatically high prices, so the only hdd what fits with my budget from mentioned is Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5. In my country it costs about 95$. >_< So, could the final decision be Barracuda ? What do you think?

 

[butremor]

Well, not neccessarily. Though black is nice, blue is also a good choice.

You must be wondering why i only give you west. dig and seagete and no other brands.
Well take it like this, they're know to be good brands with good reputation, while all the others are just known less and i don't what to expect from them.

 

[ssddx]

The barracuda should be fine. That would be my 3rd choice

Good, fast, reliable, fit's your budget:

Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB

I'm still using one for games instead of on my SSD, they are reliable, I've had it running 24\7 for about 4 years now.
