Best Value HDD for Money?

[Rhaemond]

Hey since I only have about ~500gb of SSD space, I'm going to offload some to an HDD, which would be better to buy?

 

WD Blue 6TB 5400RPM for 6700PHP (130.08 USD)

WD Black 4TB 7200RPM for 4000PHP (77.66 USD)

WD Purple 4TB for 4600PHP (89.29 USD)

WD Gold 2TB for 3300PHP (64.07 USD)

 

I need help for my sanity. Thanks guys! Looking for best value and performance for the price.

@Rhaemond the black strife at 7200rpm ‘should’ be fastest

With those prices the WD Black 4TB gives the best price/GB.

Seagate constallation ES 3TB i think is the best value atm.

Hmm alright, what about speeds and all though? WD Black still holds up?

Never heard of that. Tried searching it... Doesn't seem to be available here in the Philippines, unfortunately.

Yes. WD Black is Western Digitals "Performance" line of HDDs.
WD Gold being enterprise, WD Purple being for surveillance recording, and WD Blue being more of a standard, general purpose PC storage.

The 7200 version is much, much expensive for some reason.

Interesting. I'll go look into that! But right now, I don't think it's available here.

I'm assuming they are used drives you are looking at buying?
New prices in USA for the WD Black 4TB is $180, the WD Purple 4TB $110, the WD Gold 2TB $110, the WD Blue 6TB $150.

All are new except for black and gold which has been used for a few days. Dunno why they're cheap though.

wd blue 4tb is just 5400rpm, which should be a value option
