Skrub Question on WD Hard Drives
Go to solution
Solved by Captain_WD,
I was just wondering if the type of Hard Drive (i.e WD Blue, Black, etc..) will have any real impact on performance, because I was going to put a Western Digital AV-GP 1TB 3.5 into my future itx gaming build thingy
Hey RAzorDragon,
The speed of your storage drive would have an impact on everything that you load from it and all the data you work with that is on the drive. Each drive has its transfer speeds and some are higher, some are lower. Some drives are not capable of running more demanding applications or stream vary big media files.
Games rely of storage only for their loading times so if you don't mind waiting a bit longer for your games to load, you should be OK with any drive that you use to run games from. WD AV-GP is a great drive from the previous generation of WD consumer drives and you should be OK with its performance. Here's the drive's spec sheet with more info on its features: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=xFGnNT
Feel free to ask if you happen to have any questions
