    Laptop Core speed drop when on charge

    i did suspect that the problem was with the power adapter but at almost 100 euro for a new power adapter i couldnt afford to test it.

    WD HDD Tick/Chirp

    If you prefer Western Digital Drives (I Do) then it entirely depends on what you will be doing, if you are making a lot of data writes/reads to your drive, the black is supposed to be the better, though between blue/black the difference is negligible. Red and purple are for other purposes...
