December 31, 201312 yr Ok I am really confused. Can somebody PLEASE expalin to me the difference between these 2 drives: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2W019M6559 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533&ignorebbr=1 For my life I could not list an advantage/disadvantage between the two. They seem to be exactly the same (Yes, I know one is not sold by Newegg but I'm talking about the actual drive). I'm wanting to get the fastest 1TB/1.5TB/2TB drive on the market. Any suggestions? Are those 2 above any good? i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
January 1, 201412 yr Author Anyone? EDIT: I called WD and they said that there is no difference between the 2 drives. It is only a matter of when they were released. (The higher the number, the newer the model). So, I'm thinking of getting this 2TB model: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236624 According to Newegg it's the newest 2TB Black model. Any comments?

January 1, 201412 yr Looks like a different model number is all. There a 30 dollar difference in price though...

I've used Western Digital's Black series drives for some time and I've never had one fail me yet. Of course, as with all things computer related, YMMV.

January 1, 201412 yr Author Yeah - get a Seagate! Sorry, couldn't resist - I have not had good fortune with Western Digital HDD. I have a Seagate right now. This one to be specific: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148697 It's OK. A bit slow, and I think I'll need more space in the future so I'm wanting a 2TB model. Nice Drive. I've used Western Digital's Black series drives for some time and I've never had one fail me yet. Of course, as with all things computer related, YMMV. Cheers. :smile: Thanks. I think I'm going to go ahead and get this one. EDIT Done! Should be here later this week (express shipping). B) Thanks all who replied. Happy new year. :Party: Edited January 1, 201412 yr by linux731 i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
