I am literally only using this for gaming. 

 

Hey InfamousMEE,
 
Most games rely on storage only for their loading times (initial and in-game). Very view games need continuous loading of larger texture files and get affected by the storage drive. FPS and graphics are not affected in any way. Whatever drive you choose, you should be fine, unless you want your games to load faster. As the guys said, WD Blue should be perfectly fine for gaming (if you are looking for a drive with up to 1TB of capacity). If you want something a bit faster and with larger capacity, I would suggest looking at WD Black series. Here are links to both drives:
 
Thanks @Jerakl for the mention :)

1TB Blue?

WE SHOULD CALL @Captain_WD

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Hard drives aren't "good" for gaming. I don't know where you get that from.  :blink:

 

WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda. 1 TB versions can be bought for about $50.
