I have a WD veloci 300gb hd from Dec 07 in my system and i can't stand the searching noise that it make almost constantly especially at night. With tax return money i was thinking of replacing it with a new one or a WD black. Would a new WD black be just as fast as my old veloci? It would be cheaper than buying a new veloci. Right now the veloci is the main hd, but i'm thinking of switch it around so the Seagate cheetah 15krpm would be the main drive again. Those don't make any noise that i can hear only when they spin up on boot.
What would you guys recommend. The rest of the system specs are in my sig.
old WD veloci vs new WD veloci or wd black?

Re: old WD veloci vs new WD veloci or wd black?
You seem to have something against SSDs, don't you?
BTW, aren't these VelociRaptors even more expensive that SSDs these days?
