All the blacks come with a 5 year. I think newegg didn't have it listed on the product page, but the warranty is listed on the WD site.

Hey again, came across a little info that some might find interesting if they come by:
A NewEgg review of a single ALLS drive:

Anyone know if you can have 3 of these WD6401AALS in the same system, but only use 2 in RAID0 and the 3rd for storage? Will the ICH10R let you configure this?
Also so anyone know if these WD6401AALS have a 3 or 5 year warranty?

Thanks for clarifying that for me; yeah I asked because Newegg doesn't have it listed on there.All the blacks come with a 5 year. I think newegg didn't have it listed on the product page, but the warranty is listed on the WD site.
Thanks! That's what I needed to verify before ordering 3 WD 640's.Yes, you can configure the drives as you posted. You just select which drives to make part of the RAID array and any you don't select will just be regular drives.
Vista does RAID 0 and 1 with dynamic disks, but you can't make a RAID 0 array your boot partition. Also you can't bench the array with hdtach or hd tune. Gotta use Sisoft Sandra file system benchmark.
Got my two WD6401AALS... Do you guys keep volume cache-back permanently enabled or not?

So you can't go wrong either way when it comes to selecting between these two?
No. Actually the AALS is significantly faster (if you're paying close enough attention )
I'm in for two. There's only a $5 price difference between getting the 640 or getting the 500. Might as well pocket an extra 240 gigs on the raid side.
Who knows?
Might have to play a game or something.
