Hard Drive Recomendations?
« on: May 23, 2010, 11:44:20 PM »
So I need to add some space to my computer and I was looking at getting the Western Digital Caviar Green 1.5T drive but the reviews on Newegg haven't been as impressive. I was wondering if anyone knows how well these drives do perform or know of any hardware review sites that have reviewed the 64 mb cache version because I need a good solution soon.

I have the 1T drive and it has been flawless for over a year.

Thanks for the suggestions Boom. I didn't see the WD Black drive on sale Wednesday but this morning I saw the 2T Samsung for $114 thats going through Newegg till 6/2. I may go with that since I can get double the space without having to wait for a rebate as well as pay shipping and handling.
