Double-check your access times, I think that has to be with AAM enabled or something. I can't provide any exact comparisons, but this is that drive with a 50GB OS partition: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a286/ikjadoon/partitionbench.jpg And then a 200GB Programs and Files Partition: http://i13.p...

I guess not.. :(

WD doesn't has any plans for 32MB cache drives, does it? I use Windows Media Center multiple times per day; would I notice a difference? Anandtech thought not, but that is a *massive* margin.

EXCELLENT! That is probably the best site to review it, as they have reviewed MANY other hard drives. :D

I hear a fix for the 320GB is in the works; a newer firmware, most likely, maybe even the 640's. ~Ibrahim~ how official is that info? Can all the owners update their firmware or they will just ship newer drives with the better firmware? WD download page Nah,nothing official. Just some stuff I've be...

lmao, I saw that. I guess saying "Thermaltake" makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside... It looks like a nice fan, it'd be even nicer if it could live up to that 63CFM claim at that noise level...I've already written bluegears so they'll send an evaluation sample so I can get some solid informatio...

Wow, that is a heck of a deal! Thanks for the link. They don't make any LED ones, do they?

Oh, 1800RPM is loud? Ouch! I'm kind of on a tight budget. I'm needing two of these 120mm fans and just with the Bluegears, it's costing me a few pennies over $20, the price of one Panaflo. I'd love a Panaflo, but I can't fit them in my budget. I was kind of hoping for blue LEDs, too.. Thanks for you...

Eek! My bad, sorry! Original Graphs from Madshrimps:

AC Freezer 64 Pro Performance

Scythe Ninja Plus Performance

Sorry, I'm usually good about that stuff, but that doesn't excuse me from it.

Both products are available at NewEgg, so I don't think the Ninja is "hard to find". Scythe Ninja Plus Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro I agree there seems to be a problem with the Ninja's naming problem, but it just requires you to put in the model number over the product name. I didn't even notice ea...

The Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro seems to be an excellent fan at that price. EDIT : PLEASE SEE POST AFTER NEXT FOR IMAGES! : EDIT At 100%: AC Freezer Pro: 57C, 44dBA Scythe Ninja Plus: 59C, 39dBA At 50%: AC Freezer Pro: 64C, 35dBA Scythe Ninja Plus: 63C, 34dBA At $15 cheaper and a good bit smaller ...

Bluegears B-Ice 120mm

Hi, I'm wondering whether anyone has some first-hand experience on these fans. They look amazing, though their specifications seem a bit exaggerated, i.e. 63CFM/24dBA. It runs at a quiet 1800RPM, though... Bluegears B-Ice 120mm Fan The reviews that have been published list it as "very quiet" and "pu...
