Are these exactly the same except for the storage capacity? I own the WD6400 and currently using it for Vista and gaming. Its perfect. But I need a storage drive this time. Should I go for the WD10?

Is it worth 150$ compared to WD6400's 85$? What would you do. So far I'm leaning towards WD10. Everything looks identical to my WD6400 except for storage capacity.

Price per gig would be a bit cheaper on the WD 6400AAKS as opposed to the WD10. Not by much though. As far as performance, its pretty decent considering it's 5400rpm spindle speed. For $10 more the Seagate 7200.11 1TB drive will perform faster than that WD 1TB at the same size. But, if you want a cooler quiter drive, the WD 1TB will be good. But, the WD 6400AAKS is pretty quiet already and fast and it's already a good amount of storage. If used as a storage drive the WD10 will be nice but, I would use the WD 6400 as a boot drive.

The new Samsung Spinpoint F1 HD103UJ 1TB drive also uses 330GB platters and runs at 7200rpm and is a good price.
A very fast drive, I'm running one
