WD Caviar Blacks. Great speeds for me

Couldent afford them, I got the F3's instead. They work great so far [knock on wood] and I can hit ALMOST 400mb/s write speeds!

Consider SSD before tossing money at the same 2 or 3 drives.

I did, but then I realized that for HD video, SSD's dont have enough space.

Links don't work...


and you can get a 2TB External for less than $100

OOPS! Fixed.

I know that, but in this case Im looking for speed over space.

Hello everyone, Im looking to purchase 2 or 3 of a single hard drive to raid together and was having some trouble deciding which to get.

I think its between:

Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS

Spinpoint F3
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0340804

Barracuda 7200.12
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0331720


Im looking for drives that are fast and reliable and will be very fast in RAID. Im doing some HD capturing and I need the read/write speeds of the RAID to be pretty high.

The caviar blue is the cheapest, but Ive heard that the F3 is the fastest. Im hoping to hear what you guys think.


Thanks!
