Within the complex operations of hard drives, the buffer is used to hold the results of recent reads from the disk, and also to "pre-fetch" information that is likely to be requested in the near future. The use of an increased buffer improves the performance by reducing the number of physical accesses to the disk and allowing data to stream from the disk uninterrupt... Minimize

Western Digital Caviar drives: unforgivably unreliable!

Author's Rating: Rating: 1/5 stars

Pros: Cement a dozen of them together and you would have a great boat anchor.

Cons: 3 catastrophic failures in under a week make Caviar drives too untrustworthy to consider using.

Bottom Line:
I bought this drive because it was cheap. What a mistake! 3 catastrophic failures in under a week of total operating time with 2 cases of infant mortality. Avoid! Read More
