Hey guys..
I found some old threads referencing SSHD/Hybrid drives from 2016-2017, but haven't seen anything recently here.
It's time for me to upgrade, and I have a few contenders I'm trying to decide between for expanding my game storage.
- Seagate FireCuda 2TB 7200RPM ~$95 USD

- WD Black 2TB 7200RPM ~$115 USD

- WD Blue 2TB 5400RPM ~$60 USD

What's the consensus on reliability with Hybrid drives? Is the WD Black actually worth the extra $20?
The goal is to replace my current 1TB Seagate HDD with a 2TB drive, but I am open to opinions.
EDIT: I know adding a 1TB SSD could do the trick, but I'd rather save the money for RAM if possible.
