It must be a boxed version then. I am saying this because it seems a bit expensive compared to the 60 something euros my online reseller asks for it, or for its WD equivalent.SATA cable is included with HDD. ST1000DM003 will cost me 60£.
Well, I've heard the Seagate is not among the quietest drives, to each his own. Reading reviews is the more reliable source of information compared with gossip, as far as I am concerned. WD drives, whether from the Black (fastest ones, except for the Velociraptor's), Green (storage oriented), or Blue (in between) series are all entreprise grade products. Same two-year warranty period anyway.you know how it works
I own SATA drives from both brands btw (not even including my 4CoreDual SATA II based computer) :
Device Description
WDC WD10EZEX-00RKKA0 (WD-WMC1S0931532) -> Blue Caviar 1 TO, a LIVE illustration of a SATA III device running on a SATA II equipped mobo, the MSI P45 Neo3 v1.1 (MS-7514)
WDC WD3000HLFS-01G6U0 (WD-WXL908093554) -> the famous Dromaeosaurid Theropod mechanical beast
ST3300831AS (3NF0CVB8) -> Barracuda 7200.8
ST3300831AS (3NF0CXRR)-> Barracuda 7200.8 (both in RAID 0)
Still, those SATA III capable drives will run faster on SATA III equipped mobos.no HDD can use 100% of SATA II bandwith. SSD can't either.
(I might be old fashioned, but I think I'll simply skip this generation of SSD's).
