the newer bigger blue drives only run at 5400rpm versus the black 7200rpm does that make a significant difference?
Well… now there are WD Blues in 2TB 😮
Great stuff ! Your hair is looking rad man , much better than the biker mullet thing bra ha-ha ! Happy Christmas !
im installing a solid state drive and also a hard disk drive thats fine right
The biggest con to WD Black drives is noise. Those things are freaking loud!!!
shave your head
this video was very informative …..loved it!
Dude great job on this video learned a lot and you very good on your explanations
dude cut your hair
Just wanted to say thank you . I had some questions that a could not find the answers to and you answered all of them .
But there’s already WD blue 4 tb now
Thx! My WD blue 1TB has a virus that ate all my space, so i’m about to buy the WD black 6 TB, manually download everything again that I had from the 1TB, and format it
Hi guys, I’m building a gaming pc for my sons Xmas, It will have the Artillery Motherboard with GTX 750ti GC. with the WD Blue 2TB HD, do you think that will work ok or will I need to go for the WD Black, or an SSD or Both. thanks
is that the columbine class phote on your wall lol
I’m deciding if I should get either a WD Green 3tb or a WD Black 1tb, they are both the same price , I am a gamer, and this would be a secondary drive for steam games… What should I get?
can’t the slower rpm get more data than the faster rpm?
a tb is too small of a storage this days. ill go for black. currently have 500gb intel 530 ssd and 256 950pro and now im out of disk space i think ill downgrade to hdd 4 tb wd black 🙂
Good video, answered some very interesting questions I have always wondered. I’ll just save some cash and get a blue drive since they now have them at higher storage capacity. Thank you though!!
This video is exactly what I was looking for, thank you. I’ve decided on the Blue.
Please guys don’t fall for marketing, the Black is a great design and all but it’s NOT worth TWICE the price for Half the storage of other brands like Toshiba. First of all the difference in technology is not that drastic, a HDD is an HDD, as long as it spins at 7,200 and has 64MBs of cache or more the difference shouldn’t be that great as to cost so fucking munch!
And WD Black for gamers? wtf are you smoking? any hardcore gamer runs their games from an SSD! Samsung has 500GB SSDs that are cheaper and MUCH faster! Green, Blue, Red, Black it’s all marketing BS so they can have 5-6 different trims and price points. Don’t fall for it.
Thanks for mentioning the operating angle. My drive is vertical, now I will fix it. 🙂
#1 Blue spins at only 5400rpm
#2 blue has frequent park times
which one should i get 1tb 7200rpm wd Black (2013) or Seagate 2tb 7200rpm (2016)
you look like betty whites mom
Tf, i thought it was new video. The hell youtube
Pretty clear answer. Thank you so much.
dont forget black has 5 year warranty but after 5 years the drive is done because of its high performance and high wear, i would say that lifespan of blue or even green might be longer due to less agressive behaviour
+Gamers Nexus Nice to watch one of Your older videos. Already very high quality as far as alot more indepth and informative than most others. Also a bonus was the cool hairdo dude !!! 🙂
lol greens
get a haircut hippie
will wd blue beat Seagate hardisk
i just upgraded from my 2011 wd green hard drive i pulled from an old hp back up drive to install into my desktop (because i was really broke) i got a 250 gb ssd and 2tb seagate barracuda omg i can load into my windows in under 15 sec and watch a youtube video it used to take me 14min to do that on my wd green
Adata sp550 SSDs are cheap OS / start-up drives with good quality.
Then there is the matter of Hybrid drives, slightly more $ but faster than regular HD and much higher capacity than SSDs.
many thanks. very helpfull
Black is best out of those three but Solid State Drive(SSD) is best. I have Solid State Drive (SSD).
this was very informative. you make very good videos
Subbed, very informational and easy to digest. Helped make my decision way less stressful.
Mannn, great video… helped a lot ! O.o
the differences between prices are much bigger in other countries like here at Brazil, it gets over R$ 350 difference, you almost can buy another blue with it.
Thx for the help ^^
how much fps more does the black drive get more than the blue drive. is it worth the 19 dollars usd to get the black drive instead of the blue drive?
Every video, your hair gets more epic.
If I’m ripping all of my movies onto a hard drive so I can hook it up to an android box and play them through Kodi, which would be the best option?
bro you a hot mess lol
solid information bro ! will the enterprise grade WD 2tb drive work ok in a ps4 ?
I’m currently gaming on a green hdd and OMG is it SLOW sometime when I’m playing csgo the load time takes so long all the slots are took and I can get in the game lol smh that’s bad I plan to get a WD black this week tho lol
My playstation 4 storage space is full and I can’t download more games but with the new playstation update 4.5 we finally will be able to have an external hdd with maximum 8TB space, could you please recommend for me the best hdd to get ?
I was looking for a boot up and performance test.
What if i just buy 2x1TB WD blue instead of 1x2TB WD black? Is there will be any problem for the system.
