What would you pick...
Sup guys, I want to buy a good hdd, and I am having 2 options atm:
WD Caviar Black WD6401AALS
AND
WD6400AAKS
My research has gotten the upper hand to the "WD Caviar Black" but I cannot find too many info on the other one. Any opinions?
no western digital.
if i had choice i would go with a fujitsu drive. but wd has a good track record recently (i know their quality was questionable in the past) why would you say no wd?
Caviar black ofc.. better if 1Tb

..or hitachi
hitachi? the george bush of hard drives?
the george bush of hard drives?
ah ye?
ye ofc their performance aren't comparable as wd's.. but on my list it's the second in reliability (for end-users.. better specify).
samsung.. maxtor.. seagate = a russian roulette
i adjust friend's pcs since 2002~ and i forgot how many of these i've changed
atm maxtor = segate
the fastest drive trophy belongs atm to the samsung
also segate bought two other experienced companies like quantum and maxtor no wonder it is a leader in hdd's atm
I'm to scare to bought any wd hdd because I saw how they worked back in in days
samung seems to be the right choice, a lot quieter than segate and slightly better performance

take WD***1FALS, many friends bought it and all are happy with it - fast, not very noisy and rather cheap. imho best choice atm
Seagate Barracuda.
Guys I thank you all a lot for the picks, I decided to buy the WD 640 CAVIAR BLACK 640 GB.
Here's a test for the 1 TB one:

You guys are right that WD did screw up in the past, but this hdd is number one atm on top of all other HDDs, (WDD 640 BLACK is 2nd) there's only 1 that tops it at idk what speed, but this one definitely blows away the competition.
Thank you again for your kind words <3
