WD Blue

i think WD blue would be the best choice, WD red is for 24/7 operation times in a nas for example.

[Dimwitted]

Agreed. The hdd sector has made all these a commodity which means there's really not much difference between a lot of these. That said, Seagate has had real trouble with their 3tb drives and the Red's are made for NAS not desktops.

 

Stick with the Blue.

leaving your computer on is one thing

is it accessing the hard drive 24/7? (like recording your desktop while u sleep or something, i dunno why, but just an example)

 

if yes, then WD red for its support for long run time

if not, WD blue for its cheaper price `-`

 

your hard disk will turn itself off after awhile if not being used (if you configure it correctly)
