so what's the best bang for buck 2TB internal harddisk at the moment?

is torn between Seagate 2TB SSHD or WD Blue/Black 2TB.

or is there anything else to recommend?

Hello all.. I just wondering which combo is better. Do share your opinion

1. Samsung EVO 850 250GB SSD + 3 TB WD RED (For storage and game install)
2. Samsung EVO 850 250GB SSD + 3 TB WD BLACK (For storage and game install)

If I install game in WD RED,is there any performance bottleneck or what else?

The only thing hold me back from WD BLACK is the noise but wondering is there any performance drop(loading time,not fps) in the games because the drive would only be using to storage and game install. Important programs and OS would be install in the SSD. The loading time would be far difference between wd red and wd black?

if its me, i'll go with installing all the os, apps and a few games in the ssd. then if you got any games you don't want/not playing, just uninstall and replace with a new game.

the 3tb hard disk is only for downloading/torrenting + store data and backup.

no preference on either red or black though, except i know that black is 5 years warranty and fastest among all hdd.
