What would you choose for your system? - Haydn - 18.12.2012

Hey guys. I'm going to buy a new hard drive, since I have too many games and my current one is a bit old. What one should I get? I'm torn between these two,


WD BLACK 1TB: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

SEAGATE BARRACUDA 2 TB: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...A3FTJ2BGLE278D

I've heard that Seagates aren't as reliable as WD's. They also aren't as fast. What would you buy? For 3 pounds more I get another 1000 GB. I don't know what's better as I don't want to have to buy more drives. I'll be putting games and video on these drives, what should I get?

WD has higher reviews, so choose it.

I'd pick the 2tb.. The Ј3 for an extra 1tb is a no-brainer. I've never had any hard drives fail on me so I don't care what sort of hard drives I have, as long as they work and do the job!

As i know, no hard drive fails so go ahead and buy the 2TB

Lies. Try leaving any non server grade HDD turned on and in use 24/7 and see if it does not fail within a year. Luckily, most crap HDD's fail within a few months of purchase...

Seagate is 50% off.

Pick the WD one, it's more reliable and one of the best harddrives on the market. If you really want a good harddrive go for a Samsung Spinpoint

How much are the disks used though? It's one thing having them powered on all the time, but what about actual usage?

I'm still not sure, any more replies, backing them up?

Get 3 HDDs, put them in RAID-5. Problems solved.
