What OEM HDs in Nehalem Mac Pro?

[NikolaTesla&You]

Does anyone know the make/model of the 640GB & 1TB hard drives that ship with the Nehalem Mac Pro?

Thanks,

My 640 GB is a Hitachi, so they may vary...

Noticed above poster has the 8-core, I'm running the quad core.

Hi...
My 2.26 8-core Mac Pro was also shipped/equipped with a Hitachi Drive
Hitachi HDE721064SLA360

Check out for nice harddrive comparison:

2.66GHz 8 Core shipped with a Western Digital 1TB drive:

WDC WD1001FALS-41K1B0

I believe the consensus on this from an earlier thread was that if you got a 1TB it was a WD Black. If you got a 640GB, it would be a WD Blue.

Internal RAID

Would you guys recommend the WD Caviar Black or the WD Raid Edition 3 for a raid setup? (or some other drive?)
