or
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB

I already have two Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB in my PC and I have no problems with them just i read somewhere the RE3s are better built.

Thanks in advance.

Unless they've updated the RE3 quietly it'll be slower than the latest SATA3 blacks which use 2x platters. Enterprise SATA drives are no different to consumer ones really, just a higher pricetag.

Thanks for the advice, if theres no difference why pay more.

Thank you.

Just received the Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB and thanks for the advice.

Should I use full format or quick.

Thanks again.
