does the speed write and read enough for these days games ?

NO - far better go with the Caviar Blue, or Black.

Gamers most commonly go with the Blue.

If you have the Green already, there's nothing wrong with it - the speeds you're seeing are fine. They won't affect in-game much - it's all about load times. So don't be afraid to use it.

thank you soo much sir
I already have that WD20EZRX
I also bought sumsung evo 850 120 o use for my os

my question if I use that WD20EZRX for gaming will I get lag and stutters etc ?

No you won't - to re-iterate, the drive speed affects loading times only. So unless your game is loading stuff during gameplay (most games don't, or don't much) gameplay will not be affected. It's GPU power that dictates frame rates, and that in turn is affected by how well balanced your system is overall, ie you need RAM, CPU, mobo suffiient to get the most from your graphics card.

All that said, if you have a Samsung 850 SSD, use that as your OS drive (and make sure to enable rapid mode in Samsung Magician) and hopefully you'll have enough space to install your favorite games of the moment on it as well

Your HDD will only affect load times. When the game is loaded, it is in the RAM, so the HDD won't affect performance at all. Your RAM will more affect performance, and even that's minimal.
No, you won't see lag, stutters, etc.
