I'm building a new gaming rig and my last option is storage, I decided to not go with ssd for now due to tight budget,
Here are the HDD I picked out
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB $80
Seagate Barracuda 2 TB $100
Western Digital Caviar Black 1Tb $130
I live in Saudi Arabia that's why the prices are a bit different and all of the items have 1 year warranty
So with the black's 5 year warranty omitted, which hard drive would be better
I will be using it as a single primary hard drive to store my OS and all my games
The store owner told me the WD maintains high speeds when transferring large files because of better buffer, but I dont get it, dont both of them have 64mb cache?
I just want to know what will be best and most reliable
I will buy the Hdd in a couple of hours so a quick response would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance.
