C Critterbug9934 Honorable Dec 24, 2013 71 0 10,630 Jan 10, 2014 #1 So I am looking at getting a WD caviar blue 1TB drive and I am going to be building a gaming computer. Both the blue and black drives have the same speed and 64mb of cache. Is it worth spending $30 more for the 1TB black drive?

Solution laviniuc Jan 10, 2014 the speed increase isn't that big, the 5 years warranty on the black is worth the extra 30usd edit: check out also the black2 series that have also a sdd stitched to the mechanical drive
