[poll] what HDD to pick

[G27Racer_188]

I am not sure if it is worth it to spend more on a seagate, or to just get the cheapest 3TB drive.

 

It will be used for storing games, movies, documents, downloads... Windows and key programs will go on an SSD.

Both are fine. Just go for the Toshiba drive if it's cheaper.

I would just go for the toshiba but 3 tb seems like a lot

i would probably go with the barricuda but i would also think to my self, do i really need 3 tb

To a lot of people, 3TB isn't that much. I personally have 12TB of storage, with about 3TB of free space.

All depends on the application. I have a school chromebook with 4gb of storage, and that has lasted me for 3 years now without me having to delete a single file or app. On the other hand, my desktop has a 3tb hdd and 1tb of ssd storage, and i have used about 3/4 of that storage so far.

I would buy the Wd Blue 4Tb Though if its available.

But if the option is limited i would go with the toshiba.

 

1. Pretty sure it's a bit more monies (or at least it kinda is in the UK)

2. It's a 5400RPM drive that's also just a rebranded green drive

Ok thank you all for voting/replying. I will go with toshiba and I hope I don't make a mistake.

1.Yeah why the price in UK is slightly more expensive?

2.Really??  

Everything is more expensive in the UK. 

 

Green and blue drives are being merged into just blue. Not a bad thing though, slower RPM drives have their uses. I use them in my NAS to keep vibrations down.

Yep, all 5400RPM WD blue drives are just relabelled greens  

Only the <1TB 7200RPM drives are the original blues...
