I'm building a new rig to replace the one in my sig. I've purchsed an i7 920 processor, and will probably use an Asus P6T motherboard. This rig is currently using a pair of WD 500MB caviar Blue drives. They are 16mb cache, 7200RPM drives.
Everything in the Caviar Black documentation reads the same as the Blue ones. Except for 32MB cache which is obviously twice as much. I'm thinking of using Win7 64-bit for an OS and have emails in to my various softwares to see if they support that OS.
So is the Black version of the WD caviar drives worth the difference? I already own a terabyte of drive space in the Caviar Blue series drives.
Suggestions appreciated
