I'm currently looking to purchase a (or multiple) hard drives for the main purpose of storing my vast library of Steam games (and other non-Steam games). I probably have about 400GB worth of games and I am currently looking at the WD VelociRaptor 600GB that Newegg has for $100 ATM. One main reason I'm looking at this drive is because of its lower access time when compared to other top of the line mechanical hard drives and for $100 it seems like a pretty solid deal. However, I am still not 100% convinced to purchase yet and I would like insight from this vast and knowledgable community of OCN. What do you guys all think is the best "steam games" drive (for me)? I am willing to spend upwards of $100.

If you are willing to spend $500 id say get a samsung 830 512GB, but i doubt youd be willing to go that high. Im not sure the VR is the best choice however, as ive heard that they arent always very reliable.... they could have been improved however...

I use a 2 TB Samsung F4 Green for my games, and it hasn't let me down. The only games i store on my SSD is BF3 and SCII, the rest can go there.
The Raptor is a nice deal, but if you cannot get it, a couple 500 GB HDD's in RAID 0 will do the trick.

Put your games on a 500gb drive, then grab yourself a 64gb SSD and use it as a cache drive (intel rapid storage). It'll give you a mighty boost for games you play most
