    I've decides to get a 1TB hard drive because I have heard that a lot of people bought 1.5TB's and only 1TB is recognized by visa. so i looked at a Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS Hard Drive.

    Drive Type: Internal
    Capacity: 1TB
    Interface: SATA 3.0Gb/s
    Interface Type: SATA
    Spindle Speed (RPM): Intellipower
    Buffer Memory: 32MB
    Data Transfer Rate on Serial ATA: Up to 3000 Mb/sec
    Form Factor: 3.5"
    Type: OEM

    Whats intellipower? cause i know the norm is 7200RPM so would this be better of worse? also is this a good hard drive? here is a link for more info. . .

    Hi

    Straight from the spec list of that WDC
    and this article may help http://www.storagereview.com/1000.sr?page=0,1 basics are that depending on the task the HDD is doing its cache and speed is not a defaultly set one, I have a 1TB WDC Green and its speed and reliability is good.
