Hey :)

I'm looking for a new 3TB hard drive. I'm intending to put on it my music and videos. I will also record 1080p 60fps videos. Currently I'm wondering between Baracuda 7200.14 and Caviar Black. Could you help me ? I'm rocking a Define R4, so silence is something I care about...

I'd go for a 3TB Seagate drive http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3tb-seagate-st3000dm001-barracuda-720014-sata-iii-6gb-s-7200rpm-64mb-cache-8ms-ncq-oem.  Don't think you need to spend 50% more on the Caviar Black.

Get yourself an WD Red 3 tb (It's not that slow it's extremly quiet and it runs cool)

My Pc: Cpu: I7 4790k @ 4,8 Ghz @1,25 volts, Motherboard: Maximus VII Formula, Graphicscard: 2x Titan X @1,4 at stock voltage (soon to be replaced), Ram: 32 gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 Cl 9, SSD: 2x 850 Pro 1 Tb in Raid 0, 2x Samsung 840 Evo 1 tb raid 1,, PSU: Corsair HXi Series 1000W 80+ Platinum, Case: H440. Soon to be watercooled again, maybe, probably, the Titans are too loud.

you cant record 1080p at a 7200rpm drive. let alone 60 fps

So only an SSD would be suitable?

Yeah, I would be more worried about this, rather than the drive.

But between the 2 you listed, I'd go with the Seagate. I have had both and am currently running 4 of those Seagate 3tb drives and I love them.

Desktop - 3930k | Rampage IV Extreme | 64gb Vengeance RAM | 256gb 840 Pro | 2x MSI 7870 | Corsair 900D | Creative SB Z | Sennheiser HD280 | Logitech G710+ | Razer Mamba | My salary's worth of water cooling.

Server/NAS - i5-4570 | Gigabyte Z97 Ud5h | 32gb Crucial 1600mhz | 500gb Samsung 850 evo | 4x 4tb WD Reds | Corsair H80 | Bitfenix Shinobi | Windows 7 Pro |

Go with the Seagate Barracuda 3TB as others have suggested.

Intel Core i7-8700K @ 4.8GHz | Corsair H110i GTX | EVGA RTX 2080 XC | Asus ROG Maximus XI | Intel M.2 nVME SSD 1TB | Samsung 850 EVO 2X2TB | 32GB G.SKILL Trident Z 3200MHz CL14 RAM | EVGA SuperNova GS 1050W | Kept cool & quiet in a Fractal Design Define R5 Window with all Noctua fans

I would personally go with the WD drives.  I've had better experiences with WD drives.  Of course I can afford the extra cost.  Your situation may vary.

Other spare hypervisors: Dell Poweredge 2950, HP Proliant DL380 G5

Laptops: ThinkPads, lots of ThinkPads
