    So if u wanna get these speeds get the 320, 640 or 1TB version.
    As Andreas also pointet out: http://techreport.com/articles.x/14200/1

    "Given its use of 334GB platters, you would think Samsung would offer two additional F1 variants to accompany the terabyte model: a 334GB model using a single platter and a two-platter model with 668GB of capacity. And you would be wrong. Instead, Samsung is sticking to the industry-standard capacities embraced by its competitors, extending the F1 down to 750, 500, and 320GB. It's hard to see the rationale behind such a move. Those lower capacities leave a respective 250, 168, and 14GB of unused platter capacity on the table, which strikes us as unnecessarily wasteful."

    All the Spinpoint F1 use 334GB platters, they just disable some part of each platter. Can someone please clear this up?
    Therefore I will also ask if anyone have seen a review of the 750GB Spinpoint F1 (I have to decide between this and the WD 750GB RE2).
