WD Blue
or a 256gb SSD as its a shit ton faster
Ive never noticed much a difference between blacks and blues


it's pretty much just for the extra 3 yr warranty.
since he wanted something in 70-100 range. Tho, in that price range i'd get the sshd

i highly doubt anyone wants to use the same hard drive for more then 4 years... so last longer is not worth mentioning.
faster? not really, i owned a wd black and a wd blue and a seagate barracuda, they're all as fast in my point of view.

wd black are overrated and overpriced hard drives.

oh and, i had more wd hard drives fail on me then any other brands.

actually hard drives are something i expect to last me years and years and not have to worry about replacing... it's not like SATA technology keeps changing rapidly, and 5 year warranty keeps peace of mind. granted, not everyone feels this way but i sure as hell do and others do as well.

it's a damn good sig, i don't like the text though. but maybe i'm old school and believe in simple clean text. also, bottom right would be a more ideal spot, to not disrupt the flow.


sorry, i use to do gfx work :(

Yea I had another one where its in the bottom right, but I dont like it covering up the ribbon, and yea I dont like text that much either.
Its hard finding something that flows good. And square text dont look good on this sig, its very wavey

I've own a sshd and ive never seen a difference between them and a normal HDD.
256gb SSD + 1-2TB HDD is the best for me, although I plan on buying a bigger SSD in the future
