in actual real world application, dili ta maka distinguished kun Black, Blue (i'll not mention Green and Red), Enterprise drive, or the 7200 rpm drives from HGST, Toshiba and Seagate... gawas kun mag benchmark ta.
wala labot ang mga 10K rpm HDDs like the WD Velociraptor or the other brands 10K rpm HDDs. ma feel nato ang difference nila vs the 7200 rpm drives... these are not intended for desktops though... workstation class HDD ni sila. so, price wise, mahal kay corporate man ang target...
SSD is out of the discussion for now... hehehehe...
just to add:
personally, my HDD of choice now are Toshiba's 7200 rpm HDD (2.5" or 3.5"). barato lang man unta ni kaso, diri, ning increase naman. sometimes, mas mahal pa sya sa uban brands... hahay... but, usahay, maka timing ko diri'g WD Black na barato ra... so, sa wala'y pag duha2x, piti-on dayon nko labi na, nangita ko ug HDD for OS & Apps. for storage, either Toshiba (7200 rpm), HGST (7200 rpm), WD Green/Blue & Enterprise Edition akoang paliton...
