Why are we even messing with anything other than WD these days?

[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 887896"] It's just the nature of things, sadly. People get emotional some times because they think their way of thinking is the only "right" one. Where I get frustrated is when people go along the lines of well my experience is different, so therefore you must be wrong. Sorry that's not how that works. I always preach that we need to stop this stupidity and just use what works best for you. Take advantage of the trial periods and come to your own conclusions. It doesn't matter what I use, or what someone else uses. All that matters is that I will use what works for me and everyone else should use what works for them. What also get's me is when blanket statements are made about this or that, but it's only focused on 1 or 2 things, not the whole picture. For example, it's well known that WD isn't the best for compiling and opening a folder full of exe's, it's no secrete. However, because of those things blanket statements are made like "well WD is SOOOO SLOW, it brings my system to a crawl." You start asking what they mean, they give these 2 examples, but it's like, ok, well what about booting into Windows (oh that's fine), ok how about web browsing (oh that's fine too), or what about opening programs/gaming (oh that's fine too), etc... so it's not that WD is bringing your system to a crawl constantly, it's just those 2 things. So in that case just use something else, it doesn't have to be made into a big deal. [/QUOTE]
