what are the color differences on hard drives?
I need to replace my hard dribe and see there colors associated with different items. Don't see a color on my old one.
The WD Red are intended for NAS ~ they are: medium speed, low noise, medium temperature, low power consumption
The WD Black are intended for high performance and storages at reasonable cost: fast drives, high noise, high temperature, high power consumption
The WD Blue are basically your standard desktop drives: average in all categories.
The WD Green are for low power and compact systems:
slower drivers, low noise, low heat, low power consumption
The VelociRapter are 10.000RPM drives, they are the fastest with the next step being SSD fastest drives, high noise, high temeprature, average power consumption.
