Can't decide 
1. WD6402AAEX
2. WD10EARS
3. WD7502AAEX
I imagine this would be cryptic, but one that does not suck perhaps? |

system
then black. green totally sucks for system since it has this nasty energy-saving function of going from 7200rpm to 5400rpm and even sometimes stop. it's great for NAS and storage tho and I have the 1TB for over 1 year already and its' quite silent and fresh. |

Just go with a 40-80gb SSD then. If you can't afford it, sell someone in your family. Heard there is a demand on the organ market. |

I just while ago bought 2x 128gb SSD drives, one for OS and one for Games.
Loading OS, programs, games, etc... So much faster now, really recommend for anyone. |

Yeah never install windows on a lower rpm green drive. It will take 5 minutes for it to load and settle down.
I upgraded my PC to 8GB ram last week. So following my 'because I can' approach I created a 512MB ram drive assigned to a drive letter and put all my EVE cache files there with ntfs junctions. Probably not necessary as I have a SSD with EVE on. |

no, the problem of caviar green is not the rpm's. the drive actually spinns at 7200, depending on load. the problem of caviar green is that it decreases from 7200 to 5400 and even goes into "standby" if load gets progressively lower and/or idles. |

No green. Really non solid states boil down to cache mem and rpm... the other 3.0 gbs and 6.0gbs is complete fiction.(on a single drive you'll never have read write or read/write at that speed unless you got an insane SCSI setup and a controller). All the other stuff is also negligible given how certain file systems operate. If you really want speed buy SSD for your OS and say your favorite couple of games.... Unless you can afford 1800 bucks for a 750 or above.
Once you go SSD you wont want to go back. |

I have a 1 TB Hard Drive (1000 Gigabytes) with a very high RPM. It is designed for Desktop (aka Tower) Computers, and it uses SATA. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold exactly 1000 GB because of being formatted by Windows 76 so that it would work on my computer.
Personally, I would go for something with a high Storage Capacity, a large Buffer, and a fast RPM.
Hard Drives over 2 TB in size often get corruped whenever a computer crashes, even more often than a smaller hard drive, so I recommend against going above 1 TB unless you have the latest updates for your OS and Back-Up your data regularly. |

Nooooooo....sigh....<checks last credit card statement and starts looking for carkeys> I've been resisting spending the money. Stop saying it's awesome. EDIT: So, a quick look around and I see that there are SATA and PCI options. Which way is better? |

Yeah, I've been thinking of getting the SSD, but just only for windows for faster load up.
But SSD isn't going to get good when you own 275+ games from steam and 1/4 of the games are installed nearing 1T HD (steam folder/games on its own dedicated HD). :( Gonna take 5 more years until SSD reaches 1T and at 60-70$ sale deals, haha. |

I actually have a pair of the Black 640 GB versions in a RAID-0 setup. It's pretty fast, with about 1.2TB space. Bought them when SSDs weren't practical for the number of games I'd like to install on one. As others have said, stay away from the Green if you want to load games from it. |
