I've been reading about some of the relatively well-priced HDD's that have come out recently.
I was almost set on a WD 640GB Caviar "Black," it seems to perform well, but I hear it is loud. That's no good for me, I like my PC nice and quiet.
How about the well-liked WD 640GB Caviar "blue"? (the one with 16mb cache) I would assume that it is essentially the same drive as the black, but with less cache, does that mean it is loud too? Would anyone with these drives care to comment?
My main HDD now is a 250GB WD Caviar with 16mb of cache. Would I see any performance benefit if I used the 640GB drive as my system drive and used the 250GB as storage? I would assume that it is impossible to put my Program Files directory on the storage drive, right?
Thanks!
