Which HDD for recording games.

[sparrowFX]

I want to buy cheap HDD for recording my gameplay.

What is the difference between

HDD WD 1TB, Caviar Blue 10EZEX, 1000 GB, SATA3,64 MB

and

TOSHIBA 1TB, 7200rpm, SATA 6 Gb/s, 32MB, DT01ACA100

Is there any noticeable differnce, the WD is little more expensive so I am asking myself is it worth the extra price.

I currently have this setup

Operating System
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU
Intel Pentium G3258 @ 3.20GHz
RAM
Kingston HyperX Fury 4,00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (10-11-10-30)
Motherboard
ASRock H81M-HDS
Graphics
22MP65 (1920x1080@60Hz)
2048MB ATI AMD Radeon R9 200 Series ( MSI R9 270X Gaming OC 2GB )
Storage
233GB Western Digital WDC WD2500YD-01NVB1 ATA Device (SATA)

I am not a fan of Toshiba. My experience is that they fail more often than Western Digital. The differences other than that are so small they are not worth mentioning.
