Between WD Black and Barracuda, in your opinion, which one is better, and why?

Hi there Eclipsion,

I will start with that you will not really notice any significant difference in the performance of these 4 drives as all of them have 7200 RPMs.
As you are concerned about reliability of the drive, I will just add that WD Black has 5 years of limited warranty.

Maybe WD can help here.

D_Know_WD - Any creedence in Backblaze's hdd reliability report?

 

[D_Know_WD]

WD’s drive reliability is measured using Component Design Life (CDL) and Annualized Failure Rate (AFR). The Component Design Life of the drive is 5 years and the Annualized Failure Rate is less than 0.8%.
