[SOLVED] How fast is a 3.5 SATA 6GB/s HDD nowadays

I have Hitachi in mind.,

As fast as it used to be. Mechanical limitations. Good for data, together with a SSD for OS and apps.

So which brand doesn't really matter?

For the SSD, it absolutely matters.

Crucial, Samsung, SanDisk.
Ignore all others.

I am a Black WD fan. With a good cooling, they never failed.
