Is the 2b Seagate Barracuda hard drive good for gaming and video editing?

I was wondering if the Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ST2000DM00, Was good for storing/playing games on. And using it for video editing programs such as sony vegas adobe after effects or photoshop (i know not a video edition program).

define "good"? what makes a drive a good drive from your point of view?

good as in will it be able to perform like a wd black series drive and be able to store higher priority applications on it.

 

[Isokolon]

it will perform similar to a WD black with the black being slightly faster in benchmarks
the WD Black also comes usually with better warranty & higher reliability
but if that's really worth the price is up to you
I'm using my Seagate HDD for several years, got the OS and everything on it
so far I'm satisfied (4 years)

Is this drive as good as that drive, when that drive costs more for the same size, but has a longer warranty.

In the realm of your current use case, what leads you to believe that either drive would be faster or slower than the other?

save the money and get an ssd, it will be MUCH faster, and well worth the money
