Currently I'm using wd640 green as my os drive and thinking get another 1tb for storage and gaming use. So far I read review that wd green series actually run at 5400rpm and some complain extreme slow.
I never compare with other hdd before so which u guys recommend?wd green or better go for seagate? Usage:gaming and storage. Thanks |

Now it's having read element failure, sending it to RMA. For internal storage, Seagate is more reliable than WD. Take Samsung, better than Seagate and WD. This is just my own experience.I never compare with other hdd before so which u guys recommend?wd green or better go for seagate? Usage:gaming and storage. Thanks |

I think 500GB edition had out from the market...1TB still too much for me though... How about 500GB Western Digital GREEN 32M 7200 RPM? This post has been edited by ZRong223: Jan 25 2011, 10:15 PM |
