Ideal Recording Drive for Programs like FRAPS

[InspectorNinja]

I plan to buy a second, high capacity drive for the sake of having an "off site" from the OS recording location sense about an hour of 1080p video takes up about 100+ gb of storage (200+ with 60fps). Just curious as to what would be a definate brand and model to get. Was looking into a TB WD Black drive but seems a tad overkill to me. Currently I only have a 500GB WD VelociRaptor drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236244&cm_re=western_digital_velociraptor_500gb-_-22-236-244-_-Product Just want to make sure Im not shilling out more money than necessary when I could better budget it. Specially sense black Friday and cyber Monday coming up soon

WD black is great choice for that. Its not overkill at all.

Hey there, @InspectorNinja!

 

I'd agree with @AleksaNS as well, I believe you will be satisfied with the WD Black. It's a performance drive and many users/customers are pleased with it using FRAPS or Dxtory.

However, you already have our 10 000 RPM VelociRaptor, so if I were you I'd take another look at it and maybe get the 1 TB version. Especially if you are planning to use it for recording as well:

I guess there would be no wrong choice between the two, it really depends on your budget and purposes for the extra storage! 

 

Hope I helped though!
