WD hard drive lag spikes

Hi well the WD green drives are meant to be a storage drive only. They are not meant for raid or a boot drive so they will give slow performance reading and writing like a game would do. Try a WD Black drive if you want your games to run OK. Myself I use a 480 gig ssd as a boot drive and a Raptor as a game drive. The green drives constantly park the heads also they have what is called IntelliPower RPM they may never hit 5400 RPM so definitely not a gaming drive.
