NewEgg is selling the WD6400AAKS for $119.99 if you use Promo Code EMCAEABBC. WHERE TO BUY SATA 3G DRIVES for your MAC PRO The Disktester random test makes them go "crazy." On a purely subjective level, the WD6400AAKS seemed to my ears just as quiet as the quietest drives, the Samsung F1s. So I would deem it a good choice as a boot drive.ĭrives can get really noisy when doing multiple small random transfers. The WD6400AAKS scored second place in 4 out of 6 random tests. We use the random benchmarks as a predictor of how well a drive performs as a boot drive. NewEgg, for example, is selling it for $119.99 if you use Promo Code EMCAEABBC. In the large block sustained transfer test, it beat all other drives listed in this test including the 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F1 we previously declared the faster 7K SATA drive.Īs I said earlier, Western Digital seems to have hit the sweet spot in terms of storage capacity and pricing for a boot drive.
Anandtech wrote " This type of areal density places WD in direct competition with Samsung's F1 lineup featuring 334GB per-platter sizes with similar thermal, acoustic, and power envelope specifications."ĭensity translates to speed. Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) translates to greater density.
The big story on the WD Caviar SE16 640GB 7K (WD6400AAKS) is that uses 320GB per-platter technology.
