i have two Blues now. I get some stuttering at times when streaming video

but I think that is due to the windows home server duplication program (which I think I figured out how to solve).

I will say that I have a WD Black as my primary drive in my Windows machine and I love it. My media drives are whatever Seagate - oblique May 31, 12:57
I can't remember what I put in my Mac Pro. I think it's a black, I was going for a green though. -- nm - lileve May 31, 12:57
I wouldn't use Windows as a server for the most part, but if I did, I would run the OS on an SSD and only store the served data on HDs. -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 12:56 8
- its basically a modified version of server 03 - tRuMaN May 31, 13:00 6
  - I wasn't trying to knock the choice, I was just trying to suggest another angle of attack for possible lag/weirdness issues :) -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 13:03 5
    - oh i know what is causing the lag. and really it streams fine - tRuMaN May 31, 13:05 1
      - There's probably a performance-tracking service you could run on it to see how well it handles the load. -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 13:06
    - SSD but who wants to pay those prices. -- nm - lileve May 31, 13:04 2
      - Since it would only be used for the OS code, it doesn't have to be a big one -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 13:04 1
        
        How big are OS's these days? I have no clue. -- nm - lileve May 31, 13:05
- Oddly, my WD Black was as highly rated as an SSD when it came to speed/performance but not nearly as expensive -- nm - oblique May 31, 12:58
