Look folks:

I assume this is the new GP with 500GB plates, but I can not find it in my country. There are no reviews, too.

Need more infos about performance of this puppy

Very interesting, would you please do some testing at 900rpm and 600rpm? I want to buy this fan for my P150, actually equipped with 1x120mm@7V scythe exhaust and 2x92mm@5V scythe intake.

So the Samsung is quietest than Seagate, nice, this is very interesting, i was just thinking about 7200.12... oh well, my money are ready for the F2

Ok men, what about access time? Windows boot, appz load, and so on...

I agree. The "Recommended HDDs" section needs a major overhaul. In addition there are hard drives that really need a review, such as new Samsung F2Eco or the new Seagate 7200.12. I understand that it takes money, maybe some people will give these hard disk, if close enough to the SPCR's staff. Pleas...

Are you using F2 as a system disk or storage?
Nice to ear it is a good quiet drive

Ksanderash wrote:Hi folks. You can congratulate me on the risky purchase. I just have ordered a 500Gb F2!
It cost me 62USD, so it's not a big deal if it will die on me

Congratulations m8, live long and prosper to your new F2
A vote here for your personal review about this disk

I am sure that your own review/opinion on this hard disk would be really appreciated

I agree, plus Barracuda LP for me, too

Thank you all for the help and suggestions mates, i'll try to suspend the icepacked version, if it is too loud i will remove the ice-noise-maker-thing-from-outer-space

What about warranty? Is it possible to remove the VRaptor casing without void the warranty? The WD1500HLFS is very interesting for my P150 :roll: Pretty sure you void warrenty by removing the icepack, thats why I bought the version without^^ The version without is not available here :( Anyway i wan...

I fixed the link

Any good alternative to pioneer?

Hi all! I need to buy a new silent dvd burner for my Antec P150, had enough of my old eide-noise-maker drive. This is the page of the available models: http://www.deepoverclock.com/frame_index.php?page=shop/browse&category_id=4cb1c6e641f4c5d349e027c026307fe1 I have to buy in this store, because I al...

Ok, now i have my new 640GB GP, date 29 oct 2008, firmware 05.04C05 (same as porkchop).

I will use it as a system boot disk under Windows Xp Pro SP3, what should I check? The load/unload cycle count?

Me too. But i don't care, had enough of this hardware-change-every-2-days

I'm curious about Hitachi 7K1000.B, too. It seems to be similar to the P7K500, but i can't found opinions or reviews about this drive.

Hi all :) My motherboard GA-965P-DS4 need a substitute, i'm thinking about a new gigabyte based on P45, the GA-EP45-UD3R. Other "old" components: PSU Zalman 600W (too much noise) ram corsair twin2x 2x1GB pc5400 HD samsung hd501HJ Zalman cpu cooler NPS8000 Case Antec P150 I will change some of my com...

I have a Xigmatek S1283 CPU cooler. It's fairly big and it's 600g, and it seems sturdy enough. THough I bought the Zalman backplate for it, as the Xigmatek only comes with push pins. This is an an Antec Solo, which I think is the same case as the P150? It all fits in the Solo... I'll boot WinXP Pro...

Oh yes, i have some questions :) First of all, can i mount a Noctua NHU9B on this motherboard? Is there enough space? http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=17&lng=en In your opinion, is it too heavy for this motherboard? It weight 550g with fan. I have an antec P150, is there en...

Very nice mini-review, i'm interested in the little sister EP45-UD3R, similar features. I will use my conroe e6400 and 2GB pc5400 corsair, hope they work on it

Is the lan a pci ethernet, or a pci-e? It is unclear from the review.

HD 3850 is perfectly capable of running latest games in those resolutions. Just if you got 1600 resolutions you may need to take down bit graphic goodies. I also agree that older 89W Windsors with 2 x 1MB L2 cache are better alternatives for gamer than than 65W / 45W Brisbanes with2 512kb L2 Xigmat...

What resolution will you be using? Everyone seems to forget that if your gaming on a 19" monitor, your requirements are very different than a 30" gamer. :wink: Ops, my fault, sorry :oops: My friend use a 16:10 samsung, capable of 1680x1050, but i suggested not to go further 1280x720, at this res th...

Hi all, i had to build a quiet light-gaming rig for a friend, AMD fan :) We have a Sapphire 3850, Samsung HD501LJ, 2GB pc-5400 ram from corsair, Zalman 400W PSU. The case is an Antec Solo. Now we need CPU, motherboard and cooler, and i have experience only about Intel. For the motherboard i'm thinki...

I'm just curious to know if it work with a simulated-sinewave UPS like my Back-UPS RS 500

In the past I have heard that the AACS models had problems with parking-noise, maybe too aggressive load-unload method. Someone know if the new models have some problems?

I will order the white one, 8-10 days or more for delivery. Damned delivery service
