depending on your usage 5400 rpm for a plain storage drive (movies, music, etc) is good enough.

 

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

like in what aspect wd is better than seagate,, can u show something or any video link? i want to know because black is 2times higher in price than blue @domandric034

7200 seagates, and 5400 wd blue (have both in my system atm). No real difference day to day or for game loading.

 

1tb single plater seagate 7200 barra on the other hand in my media pc in the bedroom is surprisingly quick

Go and find posts where people are reporting crap tons of data loss from Seagate drives. WD has way more reliable drives; I've never had issue with WD drive. Seagate failed me twice like 10 years ago with 250 GB SATA drive and 2x 80 GB IDE drives. That was last time I bought them

how many years u r using thar seagate hdd? @it_dont_work

This particular one? about a year. Others a lot longer. Seagate,Western digital, Hitatchi, toshiba used them all. None of those brands are more reliable than others imo for consumers, data center is another matter. Nothings 100% though, that's why we make back ups.
