i have a wd caviar green and it is going to bottleneck all the upcoming games like battlefield 4 etc....i have shortlisted segate barracuda 500gb and wd caviar blue 500gb as caviar black is not fittig in my budget which hdd should i go for??? and is segate still reliable my previeous segate hdds have failed
 


Cheaper is better. Seagate did buy samsung hdd unit so it is really good now. Reliability is same level or better as the WD do have.
WD did buy Hitachi.

I have two seagate 3TB drives. They work really well. Silent and fast.
Id buy 1TB drive but if it is over the budget then smaller it must be.
