Caviar Black is better then Seagate 7200.12

Green series tend to be slow. If you cant get black go for seagate instead. Dont be put off by the smaller cache size

i know black is better but which particular this 650 GB isnt Fast as WD BLACK ?
isnt the extra cache and Same RPM helping ?

Why dont you get a Seagate 7200.12 drive instead,its better than both

Seagate dies soon

Its pretty simple. If you want Data Storage, then just buy the 640GB Green, which is still (unexpectedly) quite good in performance, considering its Green Series Hard Drive.
And if you want Performance and are ready to spend some extra bucks, then sure, Black HDD is a way to go. But they arent cheap.

EDIT: You can also check the HD Tune Benchmarking Thread. That will REALLY help you differentiate between a Green, Black and Seagate 12th Gen Drives.

Seagate dies soon

That all depends on Consumer's Personal Experience. That said, i will only add that your statement is just a misconception thats all.
