Samsung HD322HJ reviewed

Post by Felger Carbon » Sat Feb 23, 2008 9:13 am

This is the one-platter version of the F1 series: here. Seems like a really fast drive.

Not all the pages are obscured by advertising. At least one is.

edit: you can find the specifications of this drive, as well as the HD252HJ and HD162GJ, here.

The 322 idle consumes 5.5W, less than my Hitachi 160G drives (at 6W) which were very cool-running drives when they came out. Interesting compared to the HD252HJ at 3.3W idle, both single-platter F1 series.

edit2: there's a problem with the HD252HJ specification at the above URL: the drive is said to be "coming"; while Newegg sells it and I own one. Also, I tested its power consumption using an infrared thermometer and it really is very low power, ~3.3W according to some copies of the spec I've seen . This particular specification claims 5.5W idle power. Mine idles at less power; I measured it. This is either an older specification or a new one for the HD252HJ.

edit3: The drive Newegg sells and I have is an HD250HJ, not the HD252HJ. I dunno what's going on here, so I'll let one of you HDD experts sort this out.

HD252HJ is F1 series.
HD250HJ is S250 (250GB/platter).
