    Hi guys,

    In near future I need to buy hdd. Considering two WD drives:

    - Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB

    - Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS 1TB

    First one costs $109,99 second $84,99. Is it worth to buy more expensive option or not? It`ll be used only for storage. For raid I`ll buy second WD6400AAKS.

    Other drives to consider?

    Thanks for opinion.:thumb:

    Thanks guys for help, I`ll take this F3, hope they are better than the old Samsung drives, they we`re freaking slow, specially 160Gb.

    Time to save a money and order one F3 and WD6400AAKS for RAID:rock:
