RMA'd a 2TB WD Caviar Green and got back...

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
...a 2.5TB WD Dragon 5400RPM?

Never heard of it, but I suppose it's an upgrade. Uses less power and an extra 500GB.

As long as the seek time was the same, then it's an upgrade!

It doesn't say Dragon on the HDD label just on the RMA/Shipping label. It isn't a Caviar model though. Model number is WD25EZRX.

Picture incoming.

The retail version is on sale for $133: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136873

Good catch on that. I was just confirming that it was a Caviar Green though. Still not sure what the "dragon" label means.
