I have both WD 1TB Green & WD 1TB Caviar black.


WD Black have 5 year warranty

WD Green have 3 year warranty

Wondering which one should be the backup drive ?
Not running any raids, as my mobo doesnt have a raid controller build in.
Usually i just do a manual backup via Cobian Backup 9.


Which do you think should be the backup drive ?

I wouldn't recommend you on using green drive if you're a performance freak.

Get a WD 640AAKS also known as WD 640 Blue

Its really fast for your main OS, i would say the rank for OS speed


1. SSD / Raid 0
2. WD Raptor's
3. WD 640 Blue
4. Samsung F1

all based on my opinion your can do your research
