Best Brand of 3TB HDD

Hello there, I am currently picking out components for a $900-1000 gaming PC and I would like a 3TB HDD to compliment a 275GB SSD. These are some that I was looking into:

Long story short; which one should I get? The WD only runs at 5400RPM, but does that actually affect storage speed? The are all about the same price. I just want the most reliable one. Also, if you have suggestions for other 3TB HDDs, please let me know. I am new to this, so any and all input is greatly appreciated.

WD blue are built for reliability.
5400 is much more reliable and makes little difference to usages. Only seek time is affected which mattered once but assuming you use ssd drives for so and games and only store on a hdd that's good.

I prefer the quality and reliability of Western Digital , but I like that SEAGATE , has some great reviews on the egg.

5400RPM is slower but as a storage HDD that's not an issue.

Ok, I think I will be going with the WD. Thanks for the help!

Ok, I think I will be going with the WD. That Seagate is relatively new, so not much is known about its long term reliability. I feel like WD is a more surefire option. Thanks for the help!

Cool. FYI WD red are fast and green are eco friendly. But I use blue.
