Wow, this is a sort of a difficult choice depending on what you are gonna use it for. The customer Reviews will help a-lot With decisions like this. I Think that the Caviar Black will definitely be faster, but, obviously you get 1tb with the Samsung, that's 35% more for the same price but I...

Example: Lightning Storms, Laptops equal Mobile lightning rods. Don't carry your laptop outside in stormy weather while using it at the same time. Kind of a given but, yea.

If you wanna be literal, then it's the ioXtreme Pro http://www.fusionio.com/products/ioxtreme/ But if you wanna be realistic, then. Solid State Drives After that I think it would be Ram-disks... But then again some RAM SSDs are incredibly fast... http://www.storagesearch.com/ssd-fastest.html...

First, the obvious question. Does the Motherboard or Sata Expansion Card you are hooking the drive up to have Sata 3 support first? For More Specific Details about Sata 3, Refer to here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sata_3#SATA_Revision_3.0_.28SATA_6_Gb.2Fs.29 For Sata 2 look here...

You could try reinstalling the device drivers. Cause, even if the device shows up in device manager, it is always possible that the drivers are corrupt. Good thing to do when troubleshooting.

You can do it with http://clonezilla.org/ It's free, and powerful.
