Aleksi says it is not possible.

Hmm.. 250gb/platter for the 750gb?

So what're the 2.5" 5400rpm 160gb/platter notebook drives announced/in the market now? This, Samsung M5S series, Toshiba has too, WD 320GB (what about their lower capacities?).

Anyone actually owns any one of these? The Samsung has some nice STR from some HDTach screenshots on the net.

The spec sheet now says:

7,200 RPM class. Actual speed can be different a little.

But since there's F1 series now, why look at the lower density S250 ? S250 does have very low power consumption though.

According to the JonnyGuru review, the VX450 uses the low speed Adda.

Its a medium speed.

I suppose the only difference between TX and TX2 is the mounting system right (AMD or Intel vs Universal)?

I just built one up this evening. Nice feature set. It does have a floppy, but the DVI port does not support a D-sub adapter for a standard 15-pin monitor. I am going to play around with it more this weekend and get all the power settings right, but it seems real solid. I don't have a need for HD o...

Thread title should be renamed to WD IntelliPower

WD Caviar GP series sure looks cool.

Shucks. So now the cables come out from the same side of the case for the whole family? Wished they kept it the current way (one of the reasons why I got the 430...): S12 330, 380, 430 http://www.silentpcreview.com/files/images/seasonic-s12/430back.jpg S12 500, 600 http://www.silentpcreview.com/file...

Now that there are 2 120mm roundups, any recommendations for PSU fan replacement (horizontal orientation)?

Anyone got a Noctua NC-U6 or Thermalright HR-05-SLI on this?

Is that Maxtor AAM configurable? And is it hot like regular Seagate 7200.10s?

Not too sure, how about this or this?

I guess you'd have to wait for availability of Western Digital WD2500AAJB or WD2500AVJB . Otherwise, Hitachi T7K500 320GB HDT725032VLAT80 is a good choice too.

How about a Scythe Quiet Drive 2.5 SQD2.5-1000

Nexus NHP-2200 btw

Googling WD3200AAJB returned some results. So I guess no 16MB cache for 320GB PATA (same sad case as T7K500).

How's Seagate 7200.10 's PATA seek noise? Thinking of getting a 320GB 16MB Cache PATA.

Hitachi's T7K500 320GB PATA is only 8mb cache, unfortunately...

Strange. I have owned a 7K160 160GB PATA since July 2006, and its seeks with AAM disabled are definitely nothing near quiet. Enable AAM and it becomes pretty good, but seek times go up by about 35%.

The drive is made in China, MAY 2006.

These should be pretty quiet: http://scythe.co.jp/cooler/psxx2512w.html

You mount this thing at the bottom of the HDD? So it is a sleeve bearing fan that will spin horizontally blowing air up for 3 years? I might actually need such a thing.

If it is a constant 12.39V and you measured that using a multimeter (and you're sure the multimeter is working as it should), then yeah it isn't operating within specifications.

Hi,

What are the HDTach seek times for the HD321KJ with and without AAM?

jaganath wrote:The 430 has bigger heatsinks, so it doesn't follow that it will be noisier just because the 330 is.

I was actually referring to the minimum noise before the fan ramps up.

Unless there's reason for Seasonic to implement a lower minimum voltage for S12-430 's fan controller?

The SPCR reviews clearly show that the S12-430 is quieter than the NeoHE at all loads. Not quite at all loads, actually. The only trend that seems to distinguish the Neo HE is that it may start out slightly quieter and then ramp up a bit faster. And if you look at the S12-330 sleeved version , it s...

Does Core Temp v0.94 work for AM2 CPUs?

Tamas wrote:but when you enable acoustic management it's will be way smoother and the seek performance stays around 13,1-13,2ms

No the seek times do not stay at those values after enabling AAM. Its around 17+ to 18+.

unusually wide clearance between the blade tip and the frame

good choice for fan swap for zalman cnps9700 nt ?

Nice. Any links to the Korean sites?

Show us some benchmarks of this 166GB/platter behemoth please!
