| The Bottom Line |
This high-volume drive offers outstanding sustained throughput and Western Digital's reputation for excellence and reliability.
|
It isn't cheap, but Western Digital's Caviar Special Edition 250GB is the complete kit, with loads of capacity, excellent performance, and sterling service and support.
|
The Barracuda ATA IV is an exceptionally quiet, large-capacity hard drive at a nice price, but it's too slow. Choose it for ambience, not speed.
