Replacement imac has slower drive

[javtan]

I have just received my new aluminum imac. It has a hitachi drive, (that is slower than my last imac drive which is a western digital) Why must apple change the hard drive to slower one?🙁

My replacement iMac 24" serial YM China has a Hitachi drive.
I dont know whether its slower tho? It appears to be just as quiet.

All my other iMac's were from serial's W8 China and all had WD hard drives.

Take care

I take it back, the Hitachi drives *are* noisier than the standard WD.
I could never hear the WD's but this Hitachi is loud, clicking and churning 😡 I'm returning it anyway for a different reason but I'm hoping for another WD and as a side note the optical drive is an Optiarc and it has a serious burning issue, doesn't matter what DVD burn speed you use it's always slow hovering around 2-3x and yes I've tried different media etc.

Anyway hope your all doing well.

All of mine were new. Not sure about the OP's tho?
His and mine are the only 2 that use Hitachi out of about 15 24" iMac's I've seen so theres a good chance I'll get WD next time.
