I would like to buy new drives for my Linux machine. The one thing I'm not sure is which hard drives to go. Generally, WD drives seems to perform better, despite the fact, they have lower density platters (320GB) Seagate 7200.12 and LP have 500GB platters, but in real world performance (ie copying files, multitasking), they usually loose with WD. But all these benches all over the web are made on Windows.
Is the situation on Linux different or the same? Which drives would you buy and why?
Barracuda 7200.12 or Caviar Black?
Barracuda LP or Caviar Green?
Thanks for any suggestions.
