Hi,
As some know, I'm planning to buy me a LARGE hard drive to put all my
videos on, eventually. The prices are coming down now. I keep seeing
these "green" drives that are made by just about every company nowadays.
When comparing them to a non "green" drive, do they hold up as good?
Are they as dependable as a plain drive? I guess they are more
efficient and I get that but do they break quicker, more often or no
difference?
I have noticed that they tend to spin slower and are cheaper. That much
I have figured out. Other than that, I can't see any other difference.
Data speeds seem to be about the same.
Please, no brand wars. I may get a WD, Maxtor, Samsung or some other
brand. I haven't picked that part yet. So far, I have had good luck
with drives. I think I have one doorstop so far. I have at least one
of each of the brands above too. Don't jinx me. I'm sure someone has a
horror story about some brand.
Thanks much.
Dale
