Not sure which one to go with, i'll have a ssd as boot drive and for my main applications so i don't really need fast speeds on my storage drive.

Seagate 1.5tb green : 49.99

WD black 1 tb: 74.99

i believe 2 years on the green and 5 years on the black as far as warranty goes

which one would you pick?

same, had a seagate 500gb for 5 years now and its still running strong,

500gb is enough for me but im getting a new drive just to be on the safe side since my seagate is a ticking bomb now.

I've heard that seagate went down in quality, so i don't know what to pick!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get a WD 1TB Green (5400rpm) if you're only going to use it for storage.

Get a WD 1TB BLUE (7200rpm) if you want a fast storage drive.

Get a WD 1TB Black (7200rpm) if you want a faster drive with a 5 year warranty.

I have heard that the black ones are of really good quality. Seagate did seem to take a dip there for a bit but seems to be going strong again.
