So we all know that the Caviar Black is meant to be faster than the Caviar Blue.
However, I was looking on the WD website, and it claims that Caviar Blue has a transfer rate of 150mb/s (sustained) whilst the Caviar Black has a transfer rate of 126mb/s (max).
If the Caviar Black is meant to be faster, why is it's transfer rate lower?
Really not understanding this.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.
EDIT: Also, an equivalent Seagate Barracuda claims to have a transfer rate of 210mb/s (sustained), which is miles faster than the Caviar Black.
How on earth has the Caviar Black received it's reputation as the fastest when a Barracuda annihilates it? So confused
