Both are same price at $60 now...
Is the caviar black speed and performance worth the extra $ (or in this case, 30% less storage space?)

Is there gonna be a noticeable difference between the caviar Black vs seagate 7200.12 in terms of window startup and game startup time?
A lot of benchmark and HDtune results actually show the seagate having a higher avg transfer speed than the WD black tho. Is the caviar black REALLY faster?
