QUOTE(limhongwoon @ Dec 7 2008, 10:01 AM) Caviar Black is for 24/7 like really the performance version for gamers and etc, green is like lower power and so-so performance, blue i think is normal.Just wait a while more bro, i think 1tb hdd will drop somemore their price so don't buy the 500gb, go straight for 1tb, |
