Your suggestions about Internal HDD

[LeechMaster]

I am thinking of buying a new 1TB hard drive for my PC. I have checked some company’s sites & the most one I have liked is Western Digital Black Caviar HERE (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=488)
I have also checked Seagate & have chosen Barracuda® 7200.12 Desktop Hard Drive HERE (http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/desktops/barracuda_hard_drives/barracuda_7200.12/) I have also checked Hitachi & have chosen Deskstar E7K1000 HERE (http://www.hitachigst.com/portal/site/en/products/deskstar/E7K1000/). Finally, I have decided to buy Western Digital Black Caviar because some of its technology. Such as StableTrac & NoTouch ramp load technology. But I don’t know if it make high noise or has any other problems. So, please let me know about your experience with Caviar Black, green or other hard drives & do you suggest specific Model.

hey mate as i think go for seagate coz its 1 of the best hdd makers in my opinion..i watch all of the hdd's review...i prefer for seagate. barracuda its 32 mb cache...

instead black cavier has 64 mb cache..thats good but still i prefer seagate

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB is 32 mb cache 7200 R/m. I know the importance of these specifications. What would be useful is if you have noticed instability in its performance. Or if it is critical for it to have a robust PC.

as i can say mate...go for seagate..coz i use it for along time...i never have any kinda problem..

[p.s.-->if u format your pc alot then dont select it..coz more time u format seagate gets some bad sectors...ITS HARD TO RECOVER THAT BAD SECTORS]

Thanks for letting me know. But what about recovering a restored image of the system. Would it influences seagate HDD as formatting does?. And can you confirm that Western Digital does not have the same problem?.

as i think you have to backup your whole drive if i m right...use the proper software...

or default windows backup software...(if you are using other one..then its depends on your use of that backup software)

Seagate i would prefer do a fresh install..just copy data from old hdd to new hdd so it would be great..also partition makes it the way...that if you are using alot hdd :top:

Western Digital no doubt.
