[alphabeta]

I have a WD 1TB black which the OS in on and I'm gonna buy a 2TB  secondary one to install games on it so should I buy WD Green or Seagate Barracuda ?

I'd go with the Barracuda, should be faster...

Hi there @alphabeta!

 

Since I'm a WD rep I will comment only the WD drive you've selected.

 

WD Green is a very good drive, but it's designed for secondary storage purposes, and since you're planning to run apps and games from the second drive as well, I would recommend WD Blue, which is meant for everyday computing and is very good drive with solid performance and typical power consumption, or another WD Black because it's a performance oriented drive with 5 years limited warranty that will give you faster loading times.

Hope this helps and cheers!
