Although I was out of town at MLG all weekend, I did manage to slip in a little work here in there. Todays review is Western Digital's latest creation, the Black 2!

We now need 22 of these to go along with the ASRock Extreme11.

22 of these would mean 44 drives showing up in windows. You would run out of letters to name them :-P

Negative. AA is a valid name.

very interesting device. Because of its thickness, we can only assume that the 1TB HDD section is a single platter. That will account for its speedy performance. Ive been seeing alot of the very slim laptop drives for some time now. They are just as thick as the SATA ports.

Very nice. Hope more companies jump on the band wagon and get the price war going!
