Abstract: We have to admit that when starting this survey we were a bit pessimistic about the Western Caviar GP. And actually, the fact that no clear indication of its rotation speeds isn’t too transparent on Western’s part. This drive has a special spot on the...
Abstract: Our enthusiasm for the low noise WD 750GB Green Power hard drive prompted us to go hunting for the 1 TB flagship model so we could do more than speculate about it. With Western Digitals odd IntelliPower system for rating spindle speed, we wanted to co...
