Is there a real noticeable difference between WD Blacks and Blues? I'd probably get two 2TB drives and raid them. But if the $100 difference isn't noticeable then I'd like to spend that extra on a better SSD

thanks guys.

If you have storage space for games on your ssd and the hdd is for movies etc i would to for blues.
If the hdd is for games as well you could go black.

I'm waiting a 500GB SSD for games and OS since I just bought GTA5/PUBG (fuck you lee), and I want atleast 4TB of HDD, so maybe just buy 1 4TB Blue?

this is what i currently have right now

every1 knows ssds are a meme, you copy one big file and the nand wears out gg
just run 4 hdd's in raid 0 for even more sequential speed than an ssd and many many more gb's for the $

The WD Blacks have a longer warranty, if nothing else.
