    Re: Which is the best 3TB hard drive for buying

    Even I am too thinking of buying the 3TB of hard drive and have selected one hard drive named WD Caviar Green. So I would like to know that will this hard drive is best for buying or should I look for any other hard drive. But when asked with one of my friend he says that WD hard drives are best but if got damaged you have to go for searching the service center as they have very limited center. So should I go for this hard drive or opt for any other.

    As I am using 1 TB hard drive of WD from past one year and never had any type of issue. so according to me I must say that you should definitely go for this hard drive.

    Re: Which is the best 3TB hard drive for buying

    I recently bought Western Digital Caviar Green hard drive and from my experience I must say that this hard drive runs at the 5400 Rpm which has interface of 3 GB/s. using this hard drive I feel that it makes does not makes more noise as we see in the other hard drives. This hard drive also consumes less energy. So I would like to say that those who are thinking of buying the hard drive should prefer going with the Western Digital Caviar Green hard drive as overall performance is best when compared with the other hard drive.

    I have been always using the Seagate as my hard drive and I always trust this brand. So I would always insist everyone to go for with this hard drive.

    I don’t agree with the above guy, as I recently bought the Seagate Barracuda XT 3TB harddrive. The drive worked well for two – three weeks and after which it started giving sound which was louder than my WD 2TB hard drive. So I feel that Seagate have lost their quality for which people are switching to other brands like WD and hitachi.

    Re: Which is the best 3TB hard drive for buying

    According to me both the hard drive are best for buying. But I guess you will get better idea by going through this.

    • Hitachi Deskstar 3TB :

    a) It is world first 3TB hard drive with 7,200rpm drive and SATA III 6GB/s interface
    b) It has 5 platters
    c) It has got 64mb Cache which helps to increase the speed so that data is transferred more faster.

    Drawbacks :

    a) Computers working on the 32-bit windows have issues with this hard drive
    b) Does not work on the old windows XP properly
    c) Does not provide HBA support

    • Western Digital Caviar Green hard drive

    a) This 3TB hard drive runs 5,400rpm and SATA II 3GB/s interface.
    b) It has 4 platters
    c) Noise level is less then the other hard drive
    d) Consume less energy

    Drawbacks :

    a) Does not work properly in the older OS windows.
    b) This hard drive is not compatible with the windows XP.
