Western Digital Green WD20EZRX as Boot Drive ?

[jonathanchu]

My previous Seagate had 7200 Rpm. I Just Purchased a New WD Green 2TB WD20EZRX Hard Drive. There is no Rpm mention but it says IntelliPower. I use my Computer only for Surfing Internet and Downloading HD 1080p Movies from Torrent Sites and watching them. I am not a Gamer.

Should I buy another Hard Drive with 7200 Rpm as a Boot Drive or Use 2TB WD Green WD20EZRX as a Boot Drive ?

Will 2TB WD GREEN WD20EZRX with IntelliPower perform as a Boot Drive ?

it will work as a boot drive no problem. If you can spare it and get an SSD for a boot drive, your boot times and load up of things would be very fast and use the green drive as storage.

I've used green drives as boot drives and they aren't the best. lol. The intellipower varies the RPM up and down all the time, and it can cause small lag times while it ramps back up. Good storage drives or little media server drives but I don't like them for boot drives myself.
