Run games from HDD

[necromancher]

Hi guys i am in a bit of a trouble here.

 

I want an hdd to run games from it and i am in confusion beacause i want the best solution in speed but i am also concerned about reliability cause i may running my computer over 12 hours per day and sometimes concecutive days in a row(I think i am using my pc a little less about 7/24).

 

So i am between those 3 HDDs:

1)WD RE 1TB 7200rpm 64mb cache (model number:WD1003FBYZ)

2)WD Caviar Black 1TB 7200rpm 64mb cache (model number:WD1003FZEX)

3)Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm 64mb cache (model number:ST2000DM001)

 

Thanks everyone.

P.S This topic is about HDDs so don't bother suggesting any SSDs

1/2tb Barracuda or 1tb Caviar blue 

 

If you only need 1tb, then a 1tb barracuda/blue -- whichever is cheaper. If you need 2tb, then 2tb barracuda. 

 

Reliability isn't really an issue with modern drives.

Seagate Barracuda  i use one myself.

Well the WD1003FBYZ is designed to run 24/7 without a problem. So if you are worried, I would go with that one

I'd go for the Barracuda for the extra 1TB.

The extra TB is not bothering me.The disk is in the 3 choices only beacause the prizes are similar.As for the caviar Blue although i am using one about 3 years without problems i don't think that it is in my choices here.Furthermore i mention reliability cause i read a lot of reviews of HDDs failing(mainly for the seagate).

Seagate barracuda or WD blue... Pick whichever is cheaper. Both are very good performers.

Barracuda, because the black is loud as fuck and the red ain't that fast...

Blackblaze's drive report is bullshit, ignore it.

Hmm about the RE speed there aren't a lot of benchmarks online but from the few existing ones i think that they are pretty close with the Black but i am not sure!As for the Seagate i think that it is the fastest of them
