Which wd1500 do I get?

[Deathangel337]

I got this from a review of the new raptor:

Thus, Western Digital will have two different models of basically the same drive in the market place. The WD1500ADFD will be primarily targeted as an entry-level alternative in the enterprise market with the WD1500AHFD being targeted to the computer enthusiast and gaming user.

It looks like I can get an adfd for a bit cheaper than the ahfd. Does it matter at all?

Also what exactly is a bare drive... It looks like it doesnt have the case. Is that just the picture?

Drive

Thx guys

WD1500AHFD = Clear window on top of the drive
WD1500ADFD = No window

Same drive. The window looks like this. Bare drive means nothing's included w/ the drive, except the drive itself. You don't get any manuals, disk utility, cables.

So the ahfd is the "X" drive?
