WD is a good and reliable brand.

Get a Green if you dont mind it being slower, or else I would go for a Blue or Caviar Blue.

Personally wouldn't bother with a Black if it is not your bootdrive.

So, my hard drive has died. What new one should I get, that is reliable? Only thing is it can't be Seagate. I've have 2 Seagates die in 2 years. I need at least 1tb, but more is better.

Been playing on a laptop for 6 years, I play Dota 2 with 10fps. Some might say this is impossible, I say its just annoying
