| Post subject: | WD Caviar Black 2TB: Worth the premium (relibility)? |
Does anyone have experience with this drive? I am building a system for a relative, so reliability is key. This drive ($120) is twice the price of many other 2TB drives (Seagate Barracuda, Samsung Spinpoint). If it is materially more reliable, then I could justify the cost, otherwise speed makes no difference in this application. Any suggestions regarding whether to go with Seagate Cuda or the Samsung Spinpoint, would be appreciated. From my reading in this forum, the WD Green WD20EARS 2TB requires significant configuration \ maintenance because of the green 'features' and is not a good candidate for a machine that is going to a non-technical household. |
