So, I'm looking for a replacement HDD for my main computer - it's on 24/7/365 and is used mainly for office programmes with the odd movie thrown in and has all of the Windows programmes on it. The current drive is a 10 year old Samsung one.
I've narrowed it down to either the WD Black or WD Gold HDD - thoughts/comments/insights?

Re: Computer HDD
I have 2-3 WD Blacks and 4-5 WD Greens. Seem to be fine. They range anywhere from 1-4GB.
There are some who call me........Tim?

Re: Computer HDD
Cheers 
It's in a normal HDD setup, ie NOT RAID
The WD Gold and WD Black are the same price you see...

Re: Computer HDD
Are you talking SSD?
SSD are the only way to go IMO.

Re: Computer HDD
Those old high energy spinning things? Why do you prefer?
I moved to SSD a couple of years ago. Blindingly fast, and no failures. No moving parts either, lower power usage etc.
I had a couple of old style drives fail... Not happy!
