I'd say WD Blue, I have one and it's lasted me very well! It doesn't have 128mb cache, but it's a great drive nonetheless.

I suggest Seagate barracudas as they are ussually some of the cheapest. Alternatively you can look into wd blues.

Yeah, that's true, I can see why that could be an issue but I haven't had any yet, depends on the usage case really.

If youre looking for reliability, HGST all the way. If you just need a Hard Drive for day to day use, WD Blue or Black. If you are on a dirt cheap budget, just get a Seagate Barracuda or a Toshiba because they seem to be the cheapest on the market at the minute.

Well i was thinking of going with a ssd but can't find one at around 500gigs for a decent price and the main reason i was going for 128 from what i understand thats higher read / wrtie speed for disk drive  any suggestion on a ssd that's not to high over that budget

and as for why I needed it from what i understood higher cache meant faster file transfer speeds for read / write it's not absolutely neccesary but was between a higher cache and just going for a ssd with lower gb

I have tried reading the storage reviews on hard drives but it seems almost all of them are either older or not available anymore except the samsung evo

what sucks is i could get samsung evo for 150 at jet.com but from the looks of it they dont have a any warranty on the parts they sell so huge risk for a discount

No, that's a really decent SSD. Not sure where the reviews are from.
