Hi all! I have several questions:
1.) Should I get a Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 (1TB) OR a Western Digital Caviar Black (1TB) for my new Dell XPS 435?
I have read reviews and threads related to this topic--and I am leaning towards the Caviar Black... but I am still not 100% sure.
Anyone have any thoughts or recommendations?
2.) And if I go with the WD Caviar Black--
Is there any advantage to getting the WD Caviar Black Hard Drive with Ultra Hard Drive Cooler, Bundle??
OR
is there an advantage to getting
WD CAVIAR BLK 1TB-HI PERF SATA 3.5LP RTL ??
One more thing...
3.)Does Dell, and New Egg package and ship their hardware safely? I have heard very horrible things about Amazon and Tiger's shipping practices. (They only use the anti-static wrap and one air bubble cushion and leave the HD dangerously flush with the bottom of the package.) Scary!
Thank you!!
