I know we've got tons of posts about this on the forum, but after looking around I still can't decide what to buy. So I got dual system installed, a Windows 7 and an 8, installing both of them on a Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB drive, I'm planning to move Windows 8 to a new hard drive for more storage for my data and move my server files there. (Yes I have couple servers running)
Now put all those asides, what I really wanted to ask is, what should I get?
This all 'choosing between WD Caviar Black, Blue, or Red' issue has been in my mind for quite a while, ever since I built my computer even.
I'd like performance, but not SSD since I can't really afford them.
I looked around for benchmarks, but the information I get is always vague. I still don't know does the Black version really makes a difference from the Blue one. Checked some forums too, and people are just debating like "Get black", "There's no notable differences for customers between black and blue apart from the warranty."
TL;DR, Caviar Blue, Black? Does the performance really increase using Black? And which is more appropriate for storing data? Also wondering the performance difference between Red and Black.
(Note that I have a limited budget, saving up for other things.)
Thanks.
