Re: Can't decide on what hard drives to buy
I have a caviar green 5400 1.5 TB drive, and it has no problem streaming two different HD streams to my fiance's computer and my xbox at the same time. I really like my drive, just don't buy it for the "Green." the actually power difference is minimal from everything I've read. I just like...
