6tb face off
Go to solution
Solved by Captain_WD,
so in terms of read and write speed in IDE mode not RAID mode like watching an HD movie, installing a game from a mounted ISO, pasting large files or extracting large files which would be better
BTW thanks a lot for the great info :D
For such tasks, you'd want to have the drive with the best read/write speeds (since the additional features won't matter). I'd say the WD VelociRaptor would be such drive, but if you are looking at 6TB drives, out of the consumer line, WD Purple should perform best in terms of writing and reading constant data (it is optimized for intensive data writing). If you want great performance, I would suggest checking out WD Re 6TB as it delivers great results and is very reliable.
