I am certain you have not done a part for part comparison between an Apple product and any low end Windows PC as you claim.

As usual, Swordmaker, you set the record straight with facts that are only challenged by low-IQ simpletons like ARL295. Everything ARL295 spews is woven out of nothing, a fabrication of what passes for his mind. Early on, I gave an example of WD drives being labeled with color codes indicating quality to show that not all drives are equal. The lower end drives go in home security camera boxes and his Windows machines (probably buys the cheapest PCs). The higher quality stuff is what we use, supplied in Apple computers. Facts are facts, despite the anti-Apple spewers.

Actually that is all bull and you know it

The only “high end” drives that Western Digital sell are the enterprise class SAS drives

Everything else is low end

Blue Label-5400RPM Consumer grade hard drive, found in Dell, HP and Apple products
Black Label-7200RPM Consumer grade hard drives, found in Dell, HP and Apple products
Green Label-5400RPM consumer grade (low power/green) hard drives, found in Dell, HP and Apple Products
Red Label-5400-7200 RPM, Consumer grade NAS/Storage drives, found in consumer and SMB market arrays (designed for 24/7 operation)
Purple Label-5400RPM, found in consumer and SMB DVR,NVR,set top boxes, video and surveillance hard drives (Designed for 24/7 operation)
Yellow Label-7200 RPM SAS or SATA Enterprise class hard drives, found in Dell, HP, Lenovo, IBM Servers and Enterprise class storage arrays

I never found a yellow label drive in an Apple Product, sorry. But I have seen them in Enterprise class servers and workstations.

I guess Apple forgot to order them while they were counting the bags of money that clueless people hand them every month.
