Hey there, Ajinkya0007!

WD Blue drives are pretty solid when it comes to performance and also very reliable. They are recommended for everyday computing and storage solutions in all PCs. They are not big on capacity though (max 1TB), run at 7200 RPM and have 64 MB cache (3.5" models):

If you want speed and you use demanding programs like games, graphic design, video editing software applications, then I can suggest you to take a look at WD Black drives (3.5"). They are recommended for high-performance PCs and workstations. They have up to 4TB capacity choice, also run at 7200 RPM and have 64 MB cache, only designed differently to bring high-quality experience.
I suggest to take a look at those, if you really want a fast HDD:

If you have more questions, feel free to ask!
Hope this helped.

Have a wd hardisk once 1TB blue, broke, cant start windows make clicking sound, claim warranty, give my brother use, work fine till now(over 2 years already). Now I'm using 2TB and 750GB of seagate(on different pc of course, got 2 pc's), bought same day my 1TB broke, and its been over 2 years too, still works fine till now.
Seen many people said seagate is bad too but me use just fine, so i guess maybe its just my luck or maybe I handled it well? not 100% sure..
and yes, I'm always clean my desktop at least once in 4 months, and my hardisk got it's own fan on top of it too..
