Should i get a WD black 1tb or sata 3 1tb?

[lord hircine]

I'm on this custom computer site and im not sure which HDD to get. Out of these two, which one do you think is worth more for its price? 1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD or 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 7200 RPM HDD? I know the first one is a no name HDD but its also 27 bucks cheaper. Thanks in advance.

I would choose the WD based on speed and reliability

and ease of warranty work/replacement should you ever need it.

in replacement wd ships new or repaired hard drive ?

depends what they have. Repaired before new for sure but when I warrantied my two 2tb EARS drives I got two new EARX drives in return.
