Western Digital Caviar GP 1TB WD10EACS
Comments:
When did a terabyte of storage become passé? Probably when this became the second terabyte drive we reviewed. That does give us an advantage, as we have a drive to compare to this one - the Hitachi Deskstar 1TB.
Review Verdict: Slower than the Hitachi and more expensive too, but lower power usage will appeal to some

Hard drives The Caviar GP (for "Green Power") is the first 1TB hard drive to have variable rotational speed, ranging from 5400 rpm to 7200 rpm; Western Digital credits that technological change with helping the hard drive reduce its power consumption
Review Verdict: The Caviar GP performed poorly on our file-seek tests, scoring in the bottom third of our field. On the other hand, it excelled on some of our read tests, posting the second-fastest time on our ACDSee test of performance on imaging tasks. And its performa

Review Verdict: As the WD Caviar Black costs more than the SpinPoint F1, and the 640GB Caviar SE16 provides two-thirds of the storage of this disk for less than half the price, and offers equal or better performance, it would appear that blue is the new black.

Western Digital Caviar RE2 WD5000YS 500 GB
Comments:
The 500 GB of WesternDigital's Caviar RE2 WD5000YS that we tested isn't the fastest drive we've ever had in our labs, but it remains a fairly solid hard drive
Review Verdict: Although it didn't perform dreadfully on any of our tests, this drive did nothing to distinguish itself from the competition.
