I think Green ones is more for storage & backups, WD Blue & Blacks are for performance.
I've just copied my iTunes library onto it, it's plenty fast for wifi streaming..I think the Raptor and Velocoraptor drives are the true speed freaks...Mostly notice the difference in games, but boy do they cost,,,£$
I took a quick look at the picture and price as thought whoa you paid $30 for a Mac Pro!?
Happy Valentine's day to me!
Haha, I only wish.
...It's a green drive, right? I thought they were slower. "
No, not slower, full 7200RPM and it's fast. It's to do with the way they sleep and the amount of power they consume. I'd like to tell you I purchased it for it's :Green" credentials, but it was on special offer from ebuyer...
They are 5400 I thought. They use say they are "IntelliPower" which was supposed to somehow suggest they were capable of dynamic RPMs. No evidence was found for that however.
Nope, this one is 7200RPM, that's why I bough it...:

full 7200!
I don't feel more vibrations than usual and the noise level is pretty much the same as well. Its easy to build up and install i say if you have the money (440ddk around 77usd) and 2+ drives its worth it.
You should try holding the lower chopstick on your ring finger (stable one) and the other one should be at the tips of your fingers between the index and middle finger, You'll have a lot more control and will be able to pick up anything. including a shot glass.
Nope, sorry. They just decided to take the higher number from the marketing speak.

"IntelliPower - A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance."
Western Digital actually stopped using RPM notation on these drives, because it was too ambiguous.
A night here for valentines day
To sum it up in one word. Perfect.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.
You're welcome. I lived with a Korean guy (in Korea) for nearly two years. I ate with them almost every day. My wife is Japanese and she always says I am better at chopstick than she is. I had a good teacher.
Actually, I think the older SATAII drives are actually 5400rpm because I have a 1tb green SATAII drive and it is 5400. I think to accommodate the SATAIII speeds they had to bump them up to 7200. That's just sort of a guess though.
Western Digital isn't saying. That is the point. They were originally suggesting dynamic RPMs.
$561 shipped from Tirerack.com
I find they usually have the cheapest prices for tires anywhere online. They are BY FAR cheaper than any local tire shop.
Same here!
I rented it from Redbox, loved it, and wen't right out to Target and bought it. I could have got it cheaper online but I did not want to wait!! Haha...

I never understood buying chicken products from McDonald's when theres usually a place that does more genuine (barely, I guess) chicken down the road...
Had Popeyes and will never get chicken from McDonald's again.

Car wouldn't pass inspection, otherwise.
It's not the airbags itself, but the SRS light came on. Turns out, a wire under the seat was frayed, and was grounding itself to the car. $75.
