Can anyone provide feedback on the Caviar Green WD10EADS?
Is it suitable for gaming and other normal usage?

If you want gaming which means loading or heavy I/O, go for Caviar Black. Greens are meant for storage as it has the lowest idle power usage amongst the 3 version. (Black>Blue>Green) performance wise and vice-versa for power saving. Of course, this exclude the mighty Raptors blush.gif

Then again, as some mentioned. Even the Green Caviars blows most pre-500/platter tech HDD off its behinds rclxm9.gif

Too bad the Velociraptor lacks in capacity and that SSDs are better at everything except capacity and, for now, price.
WD10EADS uses three 333 MB platters. WD20EADS uses four 500 MB platters.

Ah my Bad, been awhile since i did a detail specs on it. But i was (on top of my head) coming from the much improved WD SE16 640 GB with 320 GB x2 platter on it. At that time, other makes needed to reach 320 gb they needed 160gb platters for a single WD 320gb.

Bah! i'm typing while alt-tabbing too much. Just saying WD is my current pick rclxm9.gif YMMV. nod.gif
