Which Hard Drive for Virtual Machines

[elvinguitar]

I'm planning to buy a 1TB internal hard drive that will be used to store different virtual machines. What I mean is that the .vmdk files will be stored on the hard drive that I'm buying. I just want to ask which hard drive to get, WD Black or WD Blue? I'm considering the cost, performance, and reliability of the hard drive. I'm also open for other brands.

 

Thanks!

Is a SSD within budget?

Unfortunately not.

According to the WD website the WD blue is focussed more on reliability (http://wd.com/en/products/internal/desktop/). For more information take a look at this video from Unbox Therapy: https://youtu.be/tg4wr_M64Go. In this video he explains the benefits of the different WD drives.

Thanks for the links.
