Storage question

Hey everyone i have a 128gb SSD as a boot drive but i'm also using it to store my games on and its becoming quite full due to the games i have installed and i wanted a 2nd drive that would be big enough was thinking about a 240gb ssd for my games for speed but deciding on a 1TB hard drive instead since cheaper and much more storage but i want it to be fast even though not ssd fast but good enough still and fairly quiet also i was looking at the WD Black 1TB edition in particular does anyone own this drive and if so how quiet is it also to note i'm using a fractal define r4 computer case so it would be quieter in my case if its quiet in yours one more thing to note if going to recommend a hard drive please meet the criteria of

-1TB Size
-Low Noise
-Speed

i know its a lot asking for low noise and speed from a hard drive but let me know what you guys think

1TB Hard drive - Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX Internal Hard Drive - Newegg.com

I'm no fan of WD drives, only two failures in last 10-11 years, both WDs. I currently use a Seagate enterprise 500GB version of this: Seagate Constellation ES.3 ST1000NM0033 1 TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - Newegg.com for storage and I don't hear anything.
WD also has the VelociRaptor series which is the fastest SATA 6GBs drive. Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1000DHTZ - Newegg.com

All 7200RPM SATA 6GBs drive will have nearly identical performance. The VelociRaptor is 10,000 RPM.

Those seem great but im looking to have $100 as a max price for a hard drive of 1tb

Seagate $79.99 Free Shipping


Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS Internal Hard Drive - Newegg.com

Here's a list of one under $100. Newegg.com - Computer Hardware, Hard Drives, Internal Hard Drives, 1TB - 2TB, $75 - $100

how does this compare with the western digital black edition in noise and speed?

wd black 1tb 64mb cash sata 6oo/6g hdd frys had them for $79.00 I use 2 of them for games and pic's

I like Samsung & Seagate HD's over any Black, Blue, Green, or Red WD !

All 7200RPM-ers will have about 417 micro-second access times.

Gary are you sure with this number. Mine show an access time of 15ms on average. Example: a 7200RPM Seagate
