Which HDD for gaming?

Post Body

So originally I wanted a 1Tb SSD, I could get a Crucial MX300 for 200€ and last time I bought a HDD has been a while and they cost like 80-100€ back then so I thought that's a good deal - until I actually checked current HDD prices and found out I can get a 6Tb or like 4 1Tb HDDs for that price.

So while I'm not exactly on a budget I'm a pragmatic (and yes a little cheap) man and this made me decide against the SSD. I have a 250Gb SSD as system drive, a 64Gb one laying around and a 120Gb 2.5" Seagate Momentus to which I can load off the games with insane loading times (looking at you BF and Division) anyway, so I'll rather put the 150€ difference in another piece.

I know they don't vary a lot but which one is the fastest? I've read up to 1Tb the WD Caviar Blue is the best because it only has one disc as opposed to the Seagate and WD Black. Is that a valid point?

On a side note, does a Raid 0 set up significantly decrease loading times in games?
