Hello everyone, I made another post and I got plenty of good answers regarding Hard Drives, so thank you!

this time I'll focus on this precisely: Recording with DxTory @ 1920x1080/60FPS

As of right now, I have a seagate 2TB hard drive( I believe the speed is only 5900RPM ) and I play and install games on this HDD and also record on it at the same time, I can record in 1080P/30FPS. I get FPS lags that I should not get (My specs are pretty good) so I looked up and saw that it is not recommended to record and play on the same drive. so this is what I'm thinking of: Getting two of this Hard Drive (http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Cache-Desktop-WD1003FZEX/dp/B00FJRS6FU/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1408886427&sr=1-1&keywords=WD1003FZEX) use one for installing games, and use the other to record on. Basically, read on one of them and write on the other instead of doing both on the same HDD. (my seagate HDD is failing that's why I'm getting a new one)

Am I doing the right thing? can those HDDs handle 1080P/60FPS? Do I need to use RAID to be able to do 1080p/60FPS? I'm a youtuber and I really need to figure this out. any help is really appreciated!

thanks for your time!
