Samsung F3's look to be the current winner for speed, but reliability is still a possibility with the new design.

WD Caviar Black 1TB for sure, I've had tons of WD drives over the years and not had a single failure. Now I can't say the same about Seagate & Samsung

The Samsung may be slightly faster, but with RAID 0 your data is more at risk (4x, as there are 4x as many drives that can die). I would stay away from RAID 0, especially with 4 drives. I would suggest RAID5, it will give you the capacity of 3 drives (so, in this case, 3 TB), but will have redundancy so if 1 drive fails you don't loose any data

All the new wd blacks have this dual processor thing including the 640. It is a great drive.

I really havent worked about HD speed or performance other then it worked when plugged in until this system I am ordering. Thanks you. |

the 640 AAKS (Blue) doesn't, but the AALS (Black) does.
