Things to note
-The WD Green I've had for a while and it's an older drive, it was manufactured on the 4th of March of 2008
-The WD Black I've had since only last year, and it's manufactured  on the 28th of February 2014
-The WD Black had 224GB of 931GB full, so it was 24% full.
-The WD Green had 0GB of 466GB full, so it was 0% full.
 
Overall, definitely go for the 7200 RPM HDD.

I'm trying to find a site like cpuboss that will allow me to compare actual read/write speeds of various HDD's.

 

I think I want a green 5400rpm drive but I'd like to see the actual numbers.

 

So I'm just curious if you guys know of a good site to see actual HDD results. I've been through the first two pages of Google and none of them really meet my needs. I know it's a long shot, but the knowledge some of you pro's here have always surprises me.

The difference between 5400 RPM and 7200 RPM HDD' s is massive and definitely noticeable. 

Intel Core i7-6700K | Corsair H105 | Asus Z170I PRO GAMING | G.Skill TridentZ Series 16GB | 950 PRO 512GB M.2

 

Asus GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB STRIX OC | BitFenix Prodigy (Black/Red) | XFX PRO Black Edition 850W

 

 

My Build | PCPartPicker | CoC
