Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB
Hard Drive

Puget Description

Western Digital's Caviar Black line of hard drives offer amazing performance for a 7200rpm hard disk, alongside relatively large capacities. These make excellent boot drives, as well as fast storage for things like video editing. In trade the drives make a little more noise than other WD models, but still less than many other drives on the market.

Puget Professional Advice

Jon Bach (President) Says:
The black version of WD hard drives comes with twice the cache of the blue drives. This is a nice step up in performance, with no additional noise. It also only costs $3-5 more, so I'd definitely use the black drives if it were me.

Wilson Chau (Customer Service) Says:
Probably the best price vs. performance drive currently.
