Best/fastest (non ssd) HD for 1 year old MSI mobo

[av8r]

I'm rippiing lots of bluerays from my collection on to my pc and now have 2 external drives and 1internal drive. I want to change my main "C" drive to a 2 TB instead of one. I can't afford SSd, but i really want spead. This is on a nonclocked system HP computer with a MSI MS-7613 (Indio) motherboard

samsung would be my preferance.

but ssd is the way to go!

As the motherboard has 4 sata's, just create RAID-1 setup on a couple of cheap drives for the o/s and RAID-1 on the othe two for data.

I think the top 2tb drive is the WD Black. Samsung F3 is good also, but I think the Black is just a bit ahead overall.

Thanks for replies. I had an SSD with a 2nd HD on a laptop, but it was a pita making sure all data was kept on 2nd HD. I gotta admit that the loading of big programs was amazingly fast!
