Ive just arsed back my faulty Seagate hard drive and got a refund.

I am now toying with the idea on 2 hard drives from OCUK

They are the Western Digital 640 Gigs , Either the BLACK or the Blue
Which one of these are the fastest??

Operating system mainly with a few games??

Thanks
 
I think blue are the generally purpose jobbies, where the Black ones are the faster drives.

So basically the WD Black is the one you want.
 
from the benchmarks there appears to be no difference apart from aam being enabled on the blues but i think the blacks have a 5 year warranty as opposed to the blues 3 years
 
I'd be very interested in this thread too because either one of those drives will be my next upgrade. As far as I know these drives are basicly identical apart from the black having a larger cache.

Both are meant to be superb drives so I don't think you'd go wrong with either of them to be honest.
 
Like I said in my earlier post I want it mainly for my operating system and a couple of games that I play online..

So as long as its fast then ill be happy
 
I've got a 640Gb black, it silent and loads Vista pretty quickly. Not as fast as the 2x32Gb SSD drives I have but hey ho. 64Gb SSDs + Vista x64 = not enough space. :(
