Hi everyone,i have two Western Digital harddrives.... 1 says '250GB Caviar SE 7200rpm' and the other says '250GB Caviar Blue 7200rpm'.I was wondering if their is a difference between the Caviar SE and the Caviar Blue and if so, which one i better? thanks.

The Caviar SE is older than the Caviar Blue. The Caviar SE has only a SATA I interface, the Caviar Blue is available in SATA II and SATA III.

Big thanks pinhedd.

you're welcome. The Caviar Blue sits nicely between performance and power/cost efficiency and thus will do nicely for most application drives. If you're looking for a system drive, I would recommend the performance oriented Caviar Black.
