Lying requires making a false statement. When not saying anything at all, you make no statement at all; this does not mean the lack of making a statement is unethical in a different manner, it is just not lying. The word you are looking for is deception.

Currently, Seagate's official spec sheet says the disks have 6 heads, which implies a 3 platter configuration. In the past, it might have been different, but that requires finding someone with the old spec sheet.

What is the difference between the Red, Blue, Green, and Black WD drives? Is it just the warranty it comes with? I'm thinking of getting a 1TB HDD along with a SSD but I keep reading on here about them failing. I've personally never had a HDD fail, and I've used some pretty old ones. I'm using a 500GB Samsung now that is at least 4 years old.

I was looking at the SeaGate Barracuda, which I thought to be a good brand in the past, but everyone here seems to recommend the WD.

Red: designed to go into NAS
Blue: budget drives
Green: lower power
Black: more performance

Thank ou kind sir! Very useful.



Do you really believe this bs or are you trolling here? let me fix your little checkboxs.

2TB - CHECK
7200RPM - CHECK
SATA III - CHECK
Provide testers with one (more expensive) sub-model to do reviews with to get good scores - CHECK
Toss in a bunch of different sub-models that preform 30% less and mislead the buyer - CHECK
Dont supply sub-model code on the sale sheet information and let everyone believe they are buying one thing, when its actually a crackerjack box chance with hard drives as the toys forceing buyers with half a brain to call the seller and make SURE the model is correct - CHECK
Consciously misleading consumers for financial gain = LIE - CHECK and grey area illegal.

Smitbrets GREAT AUTO SALE! BUY THIS BRAND NEW DODGE VIPER! (actually ford pinto)
Car- CHECK
Doors - CHECK
Engine - CHECK

looks like it's all here.

Remind me never to buy anything from you.



Yeah, I agree. i have a fan sucking in air from the front of the case that goes across and between all of them, to the GPU and out the back. They stay at around 20c

Seriously, do you want to make this personal. C'mon....

You'll probably wanna avoid a Black in a NAS, though. I have no experience with it personally but I've read enough accounts of issues that I wouldn't do it.

This thread is like comparing golf clubs to gasoline.

WD My Book 3TB USB 3.0 drives are so cheap (got mine discounted at Staples) that I bought four of them, two to back up the first two. They're Green drives, but I only use them for storage so that annoying 3-sec. startup delay isn't really a problem. Latest firmware has improved that anyway. Throughput is comparable to my SATA 2 Black drive once they get going.
