i thought HGST was /ourdrive/?
Nicholas Harris
I'm sorry user. HGST are ded now. WD gave them a fairly decent death and use their manufacturing for their high end parts now. At least the ultrastars and WDgolds are the same things now. Don't know about the consumer parts but I suspect hgst didn't have a real consumer line anyway.

The blue. Obviously. Dipshit. One is for a NAS and the other is for normal average PC use...

Why the fuck would you not be able to figure this out yourself?

Angel Richardson
Do the colors actually make a difference?
Christopher Rodriguez
Dipshit, I was told the WD Red is better, since the PC is going to be turned off almost never.

>> I was told the WD Red is better, since the PC is going to be turned off almost never.
Is this confirmed?
Aaron Murphy
I had 2 3TB reds from the very same production batch, 1st is in home server, 2nd was in desktop. The one that is in server works perfectly even now, the one that in desktop shat itself 2 years later. Sure, it simply a personal anecdote and may be a coincidence, but still.
Dominic Sanchez
So you think I should go with the blue then?
William Baker
reds are 5k rpm

Forget the gold

All the hard drives are made the same, but the output is different for every batch of hard drives. They label the worse batch as blue drives but are within spec and the best quality produced ones as gold. Blue hard drives usually have bad sectors than the reds, therefore less spare sectors to allocate when you get an unusable sector.

That's what you meant right?
And no I did notH
And is he fo' reel?

Gut some wd mybook or easystore for dirt cheap white label red. 8TB and beyond are always helium filled reds if I recall correctly.
Juan Diaz
Whats with the helium hype?
Hunter Green
It may be a meme, but that's what enterprise disks are using. It's better to have an enterprise grade hdd than a pleb grade hdd, right?
Especially when you can get them for the best possible price per GB.

Buy an SSD, if you must have an HDD get a WD Red if your choices are red or blue. Purchase one of the 10TB element external drive and rip the case apart. They usually have white label Reds in them. All you have to do is shove some heat resistant tape on one of the 3rd pin.
