| 828405 | 2009-11-10 20:28:00 | Do the dual processors on the WD Black make a big difference to performance? Quietness is important, I intend to mount my drives in rubber brackets. Thanks for all the advice guys, the final decision will come on payday :) | sammo450 (13626) | ||
| 828406 | 2009-11-10 20:44:00 | Do the dual processors on the WD Black make a big difference to performance? Just marketing stuff....the Blacks are nice drives, though. I've got the 640GB one and it's pretty fast. Though it's going to get replaced by an SSD in a month or two (curse you, Wratt for convincing me to buy one!!!!). |

| 828410 | 2009-11-12 21:13:00 | I had 2 new seagates tip over within a month of each other. I think it was the luck of the draw. Was relieved that the supplier replaced them both with WD though! | Tbird650 (6754) | ||
| 828411 | 2009-11-18 01:53:00 | Well I'm trying to decide if the Caviar Black is worth the extra $30 over the Green and Barracuda. I don't plan on running an OS from it, so speed probably isn't crucial. My current IDE drive really doesn't like me playing music and ripping a DVD to it at the same time, I assume SATAII can handle that sort of load. | sammo450 (13626) | ||
| 828412 | 2009-11-18 06:59:00 | At the moment the Seagate 1TB drive and the WD Caviar Green 1TB are the same price on CL . I was in the same position, and since they're the same price, and the Seagate is faster, it was obvious . |

| 828413 | 2009-11-18 14:06:00 | They are basically the same thing. I've always preferred Seagate, and they never failed on me, and I think they are more quiet. So I'd go with them. | SamFields (15409) | ||
| 828414 | 2009-11-19 01:22:00 | OK then looks like I'll go with Seagate. Thanks for the help guys. | sammo450 (13626) | ||
