No.

Sure, if you want to spent two to three times more for the same space, speed and cache.

WD Caviar Blue is a perfectly fine consumer HDD.

I wonder what controller Seagate is going to use now that LinkAMedia is owned by SK Hynix.

Or maybe abandon this market altogether to their peril.

they still are manufactured the same way, it's just under a different name. The quality has not dropped.

they knee jerk bought some shitty memory company in response to consumer SSDs becoming so popular, shame they couldn't try to stay relevant by putting out HDDs that are actually better value than what we had 6 years ago.

Go away, fag.

Why?

Samsung 850 evo are the sweetspot for price/performance on 2.5 SSD. Almost any other model on its price range is not worth it.

>A person who was close to the corporate action in Western Digital and HGST said: "All key positions are with HGST people; it's a reverse buyout. First HGST took Coyne's money to buy themselves (probably with a clause that Milligan is becoming CEO) and then they watched WD dismantling itself."

Excuse me, is there something wrong about being poor? You little racist peace of shit.

>>57799077
Yes of course being poor is bad. It's your own fault because you didn't waste your money on pointless crap.

>>57794803
Not that anon but all mt WD drives died a few days after the warranty expired. It always begins with that weird clicking noise, then you have like 12 or 24 hours if you're lucky to save your data, then the drive just fucking dies. Happened to me several times before I understood that buying WD was a very stupid thing to do.

>>57794763
WD is fine.

>>57794763

fucking this, have you seen the prices of these WD Blue and WD Green SSD's?

Also, why the fuck do they have WD Green SSD? Regular SSD uses like 1Watts what the fuck. Do these WD Green go to sleep mode after 6 seconds like the mechanical hard drive counter parts?

>>57799488
I guess they're making Blue = premium and Green = budget now.

Nah, they'll just sell SanDisk drives with the bottom binned flash chips.

>>57799688
1. buy Sandisk
2. rename all their flash as WD
3. sell Sandisk drives with bottom binned WD flash to ruin the brand
4. kill off Sandisk brand "for financial reasons"
5. ???
6. Profit!

>>57799710
Aye, RAID-1 (PERC has 1GB NV cache), sorry I forgot that in there. Six sets in the chassis on the same controller.

>>57799593
makes sense, considering that many still consider SSDs to be premium parts

But i thought that WD were good wheb it comes to external storage, at least better than Seagate.
Never owned any SSD from them though.

>>57794763
this, improper warranty labeling, improper warranty times (oftentimes you get less than the 24 months you should get, which then leads to ping pong of HDDs until you get one that has enough warranty left) and then the shit breaks down after one a half years.

Caviar fetishes are sexual things related to shitting at other people etc. No wonder WD is so shit, it's literally printed on all of their shit HDDs.

>>57794883
HGST is a a separate, independent division that still makes the best drives on the market.
