Yes and no. I'm looking for silent hardware beside the performance. And Samsung hard drives are silent even at 7200 rpm.

This is meant to compete with Western Digital GP. Low noise/power = 5400RPM. Yes, I've understood that but I wanna hear something about the 7200rpm models. A 7200 model with 500 GB per platter would give us another boost in performance. It's a +50% density so I hope I'll see at least +25% STR (so >...

Today I went with the hdd to a friend and I was able to partition , test him, etc. His system is an K8N (S754). But when I got home, the hdd was not recognized by my system. So it could be however an incompatibility or some settings from bios.

Cryoburner, I have the same problems as they do. The HDD keeps disappearing, can't format it etc. Now it's clear for me that it's not an incompatibility problem, it's just BAD QUALITY from Seagate.

I have tried hdtach test with read and write and when the write test started, the application stopped responding and after 1-2 minutes the HDD disappeared. I then tried SeaTools for Dos and...

I have one, but it has problems, I have to send it back to RMA. I've plugged the HDD on my system and I have used Hd Tune to test the performance to be able to see the write speed since I didn't had any partition. The read test worked but at the write test didn't start. The HDD disappeared, I have r...

After reading the article I've found out that will be an 4 platters model, so I think 4x375. Not bad if it's true.

I hope the competition will grow up in this domain (SSD, NAND on PCI-e) and we will get reasonable prices. 30$ * 640 = 19200$, too high, even if the performance seems to be very good. 30$/GB is ~100x price/GB of an 7200 drive. I would be interested in something that is max 10x the price/GB of a regu...

Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but 300MBps/150MBps (for SATA II and SATA I, respectively) [is] the bandwidth of the entire controller, and not per device. Frosted, I for one, believe you are correct. This is the reason why I don't understand people wanting to RAID-0 this thing: it's already...
