HDD Comparison

Hey Guys,

Just for a secondary drive for installing games and VM's does it matter if I get the Western Digital Blue 1TB or the Western Digital Black Series 1TB?

Blue: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339&cm_re=western_digital_blue-_-22-236-339-_-Product

Black: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236625&cm_re=western_digital_black-_-22-236-625-_-Product

Like does the black series really have better performance for installing games or it is just another way of marketing and make others buy the "better" performance one for more money?

Any information is appreciated. Thank you.

The black series does have better performance plus has a 5 year warranty compared to a 2 year warranty for the blue series. If its just a storage drive get the blue, if its the boot drive get the black.
