what HDD should I get for a fast build?

[TJWhonley]

hi guys, I would like to get a good HDD that will be fast but cheap, and be at least 1TB.
I really do not know where to start so if somebody could point me in the right direction it would be extremely helpful
thanks

1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD1002FAEX i'd go for

Or dude you could Check out the Seagate Barracuda's you can get a 2tb Seagate barracuda for 2 pounds more then a 1 tb caviar black

I can't post links to competitors but Aria have some really cheap Seagate Barracudas, which are just as fast as the caviar black, albeit a fraction of a MB

thanks guys, really good help but im bothered which is fastest

2tb caviar black is the one of the fastest going, or a 1tb caviar black.

ok thanks, will include this in my order

they are both probably too close to call, it is probably unique to every single model as to which is faster, some sites record the caviar black as faster, some the barracuda, i believe the barracuda's are a lot cheaper too
