Seagate vs WD
Go to solution
Solved by Captain_WD,
Hello guys!! I am wondering what should i pick for my new gaming pc 2x seagate barracuda's 1tb(each) or 2x WD caviar blue's 1tb(each)?
note:they are going to work on raid 0
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!
Hey Padorkous,
Games generally rely on storage only for their loading times. FPS and graphics are not affected by the drive's speed.
While RAID0 can offer some good speed boosts in terms of loading times, if you truly want to see a big improvement, I would go for a SSD + HDD combination where you would want to store your OS and more demanding games on the SSD and leave everything else to the HDD.
If you prefer to go for 2xHDD in RAID0 I would recommend using NAS/RAID-class drives as they have optimized firmware and tuning for such environments and work with much lower chance of data corruption/loss and drive dropout. I would recommend checking out WD Red, as @Vavetti suggested. Here's a link: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=EodbEw
