Suggestion for 1TB HDD for games

[akhilc47]

Hi,

I've a 240GB kingston SSD, but installing games on it has not been a good idea so far. Most of the recent games take 50GB+ and I've to uninstall games after completion to install new ones. So wanna a buy an HDD and install my games on it.

1. Is there much difference with installing games on SSD or HDD (say 7200rpm)?

2. Please suggest a 1TB performance oriented HDD, i.e., don't want green. This is pretty much only for games and may be a few random files. I've external hdds for movies, music etc.

Budget 5k-7k should be enough for HDD? I can spend a bit more if it'll make a difference

Thanks for reading.

Literally no if you can cope with the loading times. The initial loading will be faster, but may not have any huge impact while gaming.

It is your pick. You should know which one has better RMA in your area. You may consider WD black which i think comes with 5 years of warranty. I bought seagate barracuda 1TB few months ago and I got it for around Rs.2700 through ebay and it is slightly better than my WD blue.

If possible consider laptop HDD with 7200 RPM from Hitachi.
