Which HDD to buy!? *halp*
I guess I'll go with the red then =) Thank you for the fast answer! =)
EDIT: How fast do the RED drives spin btw? Aren't they 5400?
Depending on the specific drive, Reds operate anywhere from 5400, 5900, and 7200rpm.
you should go with a green cause red is for redundancy like raid and server solutions and the fail rate on those are high. i have a wd green and i newly bought wd black i don't feel much difference but wd black has a really long warranty Barracuda drives are like the pest they have a extreme high fail rate. this really made my choice easier when i bought my WD Black =D
Backblaze's results should be taken with a mountain of salt: http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/6028/dispelling-backblaze-s-hdd-reliability-myth-the-real-story-covered/index.html
The results are strongly skewed due to the batch of drives used and testing conditions.
I know that it is.. lol and these charts are old.. Anyway,I won't get the greens, now get over it.
Not only old but a very bad misrepresentation of actual reliability as well.
@13thNemesis Why isn't WD blue on your list btw? Can't go wrong with those.
WD Blues are capped at a capacity of 1TB and similarly priced while slightly slower than Barracudas.
