Which drive is better suited?
I am about to buy this media server for our house.
http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/c...YvJ3!406927842 In order to save some cash, I want to add a 1 TB drive to it. The other model comes with 2 750 GB drives for $150 more. I am looking at either the WD Green or the Black models. The drive will be purchased from Newegg. Just looking for opinions on the drives. Essentially, which would be better for the purpose of the server? Black - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136284 Green - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136317 Just in case anyone is interested, I'm leaning towards the Green model. Thanks for your time and opinions. Bucksfanjimj |

Western Digital Black drives are very good... They are fast (dual processors) and have a longer warranty than the Green (5yrs vs. 3yrs).
