best 1TB hdd for my new computer??

[Olmerzeno]

I had an old 160 GB WD Caviar 1600AABB hdd since 2010 and now it is both low in storage and the slowest component in my new computer. I heard that SSDs have problems with reliability and also they are very expensive for a small upgrade in capacity so ... what is the best 1TB hdd i can buy when it comes to reliability and perofrmance?

A absolutely good drive is this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236625 very fast and is a reliable brand

I heard wd black is fast if not the fastest in hdds but... is it reliable [lives long] i will use it as the main storage for a long time.

Dude yes it will last long i still have one today that ibought in 2013 still is as fast as ever

 

[shadows1234]

It should last around 7 years if never gets physicly damaged

What about sshd.?? I know they arent as fast as ssds but they are a lot faster than hhds right? Do they have drawbacks?

 

[Olmerzeno]

When it comes to sshds only seagate ones are available in local market. Shouldn't they be faster than wd black by alot ? And again do they have drawbacks? Are they as reliable as hdds?

Sshds arent worth it. So I will go hdd way...So WD black is the best choice for gaming?

sorry for not responding haven't had a chance too but yes i rather get a black drive for gaming that is 1tb than a ssd that is 240gb they are around the same price which for me makes me go for the WD black better and they are pretty fast compared to a standard drive
