Hey there :)

 

To answer your question directly, WD Red are the consumer NAS/RAID-class drives from our consumer line. They work very well and safe in RAID arrays and NAS/Server environments and should give you good performance and solid reliability. 

 

Have in mind that not all usage types will benefit from better performance. Gaming, for example, relies on the storage's performance only for the loading times and you won't notice any differences in FPS or graphics. 

 

As @Enderman suggested, a combination between a SSD for the OS and the editing workloads and a simple HDD for the games and everything else may be a better solution.

If this helped you, like and choose it as best answer - you might help someone else with the same issue. ^_^
