Small Hard Drive question

[Shaktimus]

Hi guys, just a small question about the hard drives.

Is there a real difference in performance wise (especially quietness) regarding the hard drives available.

I want a 2TB hard drive but whats the main differences between the:

2TB 3.5" SATA-III 6GB/s
2TB WD CAVIAR BLACK
2TB CAVIAR GREEN WD20EZRX

The Question mark on the right of the drop down menu shows all the stats but all the 2TB ones have same stats but different prices. Is it because one is branded and one is not?

I just want the quietest one.

thanks.

The Caviar green is most likely the quietest of the three choices there.
The Caviar Black is more of a 'performance' drive. And the 2Tb Sata III drive will just be an unbranded sata 3 drive. Potentially not the same quality/performance of the WD Caviar drive's but I can't say for sure.

The Green is only £5 more than the unbranded one. So i'll go with that.
