Hello, so I was researching on the differencr between the different WD HDD’s and found this article from gamers nexus: https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/1741-wd-blue-vs-black-comparison-best-drive-for-gaming

It says that WD Blues only go up to 1TB, but when building my friend’s computer I encountered 2 and 3TB drives at my local shop. Did WD stop manufacturing Blue drives greater than 1TB in capacity or something?

1TB is 7200RPM and anything higher is 5400RPM for WD Blue

generally people don't recommend 5400RPM drives for games due to the increased loading time, but it works fine for general storage/bulk media. 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.
