Not only is it the older, slower version (WD10EACS vs WD10EADS), but it has a 1 year warranty? Spend the extra $10 and get a new, faster drive with a 3 year warranty.
The new version is way faster than this.
what is the difference WD10EACS vs WD10EADS?
is it just 16MB cache vs 32 MB?
gohardrive = sketchy nuff said
Whack whack whack.
#3 Per WD (and other benchmarks) there's an additional 10% energy savings along with a 20% performance boost. Sorry, don't have the links bookmarked, I did see an article in Tomshardware. Other places have done benches too.
But it looks like the cache, and also a higher density disk (3 platters vs 4) make it faster
that 10% energy savings is probably like 50 cents a month
The fact that it's from GoHardDrive.com makes it a dead deal for me long before I consider that it's the older, much slower drive.
Can we get some real hd deals? I understand posting these kinds of deals which might be ok for a few folks - but not for most. Seems like they've been fighting to break $100 on a decent 1TB drive since before Christmas. All we're getting is 'whitebox' 'deals', refurbs, and shady machine pulls with dubious warranties/rebates of questionable return.
All of these are pretty worthless deals. And now with the 1.5TB drives nearly useless due to failure rates, I'm just about to give up and wait 3-6 mo to upgrade again...
i would buy this if there was no shipping charge... $11 shipping kills the deal
