It will be a data drive. Should be fine. I'll check to see how much louder it ends up being before I buy it.

I have an SSD. Most games I play wouldn't take an advantage from a faster drive. Also blue/black are same speed

Blacks are a tad faster. I went with the cheaper of the two. WD blue for $49.99

The black was 64.99, thought deal would be better on those :(

Crazy steam games, mainly killing floor atm, will go on the ssd. Everything else will go on the blue hdd

any reason why micro and not mini itx or standard atx?

storage drive is really just "take whatever is cheap". & 600w gold is plenty for that setup

looking for a much smaller setup but I don't want to sacrifice the ability to add in additional cards down the line. had a wifi card that I would like to add to the system (yes, I know I could have gone with an itx ac board but what if I would like to add a sound card?) I just don't want to limit myself I guess :)
coming from this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/h2zmNN

also a 600w gold doesn't match with a $200 PSU or a $150 cooler, so that's why I chose that lol
I don't need it and it's absurd but if I'm going this hard I might as well shell out an additional $50 :P
also, i plan on keeping the case for years and years. if any upgrades were to be made to the cpu/mobo for whatever the next socket change will be then I will keep pretty much the same everything less board/cpu.

i did end up going with the cheapest 1tb western digital drive, my last one treated me too well :)
almost 3 years 24/7 (2 years were just as data drive once ssd was added, so that doesn't really count i suppose) - still going strong ofc, just sold the computer for $500

This is where I stand right now
