Hard Drive for gaming pc build

[Toby D]

Hello, I'm building a gaming pc and need to choose a Hard Drive for general storage. I will be storing my lower resource demanding games on this hard drive to clear space from the SSD so I still need it to be fairly fast and reliable. I would like to have more than 1tb of memory but if that means I have to sacrifice some speed I'll happily settle for a 1tb or less. What hard drive would you recommend for me? Oh and obviously the cheaper the better but hard drives are relatively cheap anyway so the price isn't too much of a concern.

Generally, any 7200 RPM will perform about the same. Some brands are faster than others but for the most part they are fairly close.

And I don't think the added performance from a 1TB velociraptor is worth the $200 price tag.

Go with a Western Digital Black Edition 1TB. Sata 6GB/s and 64MB Cache. This is the perfect solution for you.
