Looking to buy a new HD for OS. Don't need massive storage. Would like a performer, thinking of the WD Caviar series, thoughts?

WD Caviar Blacks are solid drives with competitive performance for their class.

For better performance (but at a higher cost and lower capacity), buy a Velociraptor.

For way better performance (but at higher cost and even lower capacity, buy an SSD (Solid State Disk).

The Cavier Black series for speed the Cavier Blue series for general purpose and the Cavier Green for low power storage. This is a great drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6822136319 very fast and decent storage.

Anort,

Thanks. I found this with your suggestion http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6822136283 comes with a coupon. Delivered under $70.

I am going to load Win 7 on the new drive and have my old OS as a secondary boot option in case the new OS gives me trouble...
