I was thinking of going with a black series, some people think its loud though. I want to get the fastest quietest hard drive I can get.

I need it for processing autocad so It has to be fast. I'm looking to spend 250-300 canadian.

You'd be better off pairing a SSD for data crunching with a slow HDD for data storage. Something like the 500GB class Crucial MX300 or Samsung 850 Evo with a WD 5400rpm.

I do a lot of gaming though. and I need the space for that. It'd be nice to have my games load 40-60 percent faster.

I was hoping someone here would know of a quiet series that met my needs.
I can always add an ssd down the line.
