Heloo! So i was recording minecraft for one of my first times, with fraps, and i notised a lot of lag spikes a fps drops, i read about this and it said that i needed to save my videos in another drive. In vanilla i get +600fps with no lags spikes, when i first bought mu gaming pc, i bought it with just a ssd. I thought it would work bautifly with world loading(disk intensive task) but then i searched around and foumd out that ssd are not stable enouth to play minecraft, so now i want to buy a FAST hdd. But i'm conserned about the noise that a 15000rpm hdd does, is there any way that i can stop that noise? And how much difference is there in a 10000rpm?
10000rpm or 15000rpm hdd?

Don't bother, 15000, 10,000RPM drives are a waste of money. Especially since you already have an SSD.
the problem is your recording to 1 drive, which is being accessed, and if your recording to an SSD, there won't be enough space on there to record to with Fraps (unless you have a huge SSD)
you don't need a fast drive, a separate drive is more than enough, even the 'green' or power saving drives will have enough bandwidth to record to.
if you want a fast drive, go with a Western Digital Black edition drive.
Benchmarks speak for themselves (but you'll get less speed in real life sitation)
normal/Green/Blue Power saving drive you'll get around 130Mbps Max
Western Digital Black you'll get 190Mbps Max
i've got both kinds of drives and done benchmarks on them.
USB 3.0 drive you'll get about the same as a power saving/Green drive, around 130Mbps max.
in real life you'll get 60-80Mbps on the slower drives and around 130Mbps on the Black editions.
