Crni su starijeg datuma (
WD2500KS), a srebrni su noviji (
WD2500AAKS). Moji su bili srebrni (Made in Thailand IIRC).
Kao sto rekoh poslije WD300BB (zubarske brusilice) serije vjerojatno najglasniji hardovi koje sam imao u kompu.
EDIT:
Evo i zakljucka s SPCR-a (isto singleplate WD):
"This sample has the surprising distinction of being the noisiest from WD in a couple of years. The SPL of 24 dBA@1m does not denote a noisy drive, but it is higher than others from WD in a while. The noise was apparent as soon as the drive was powered up. It was loud enough to be immediately noticed in our very quiet lab, and it also had a somewhat complex signature with some tonality. The amount of turbulence noise was higher than in other drives reviewed in recent memory, and a wider range of higher frequencies seemed to be present."
Sto se tice pristupnih vremena ovakvo je bilo stanje na
SPCR i
Anandtech testu (isto kao i kod mojih testova):
"However, for reasons we are still investigating, the random access time of 16.3ms is poor compared to current desktop drives such as the Samsung HD501J that feature a class high 14.0ms random access time. Although the performance of the drive in actual applications is not hindered greatly, it is perplexing to us why this drive has such high random access times."
