How's the performance?

 

Any useful charts and stuff.

 

Btw im looking for a nice value of Storage. but performance does has its value altough of lower priority.

reliability is a definitive importance.

i only use them to hold data like music, pictures, etc...i wouldnt use them as the boot drive as the speed is fairly slow. i do not have charts but im speaking from experience. spend a little extra and get a blue drive.

Hi there @LOST TALE!

 

If you're going for an internal secondary storage unit, the WD Green would suit perfect for this purpose. But in case you intend to run programs and apps then I would recommend the WD Blue (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=770), if it's for everyday computing, or Black (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=760) in case you're looking for a performance oriented drive.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers! :)

Do u think I cna find better then that seaggate barracuda at 99$?

Green is slower and more expensive...whats the trade-off?

Hey @LOST TALE!

 

Sorry, as a WD rep I can’t really give you links with offers apart from our official website. :( To your question about the Green and the Barracuda – those two drives are different in design so I wouldn’t compare them.
