    Novatech stocks new WDs.

    I had a chat with them yesterday:
    [11:06:24] Monika B
    we do have the new version - 00B3A0
    [11:07:26] jkc
    Is it the only one in stock or should I request it specifically when placing an order?
    [11:08:40] Monika B
    every single one we do have in stock is the newer version

    Very helpful guys, BTW. They never have problems with checking their stock if you ask them.

    Pleasure. I haven't eventually bought one from them as after reading a few threads and reviews I am leaning towards new Samsung F1 320GB one platter or WD 640GB (this one is not available in UK yet I am afraid). The prices are comparable (for 320 drives) and it seems like Samsung offers slightly better performance. I think. Probably nothing you can notice running real life applications but still...

    Yep 14 extra GB per platter.. its going to be a staggering difference

    to me it has been clear for a good while now the the 1TB uses 334GB platters and the 750GB uses the old 250GB platters.

    What i find wierd tho is that i cant find a single review site that puts the F1 1TB and F1 750GB head to head or a site that has a review on both.

    Could it be that Samsung doesnt want review sites to compaire the 2 drives?

    but anyway putting all this aside the 750GB stil is a grt HD.
    On geizhals.at it dropped below 100 euro wich makes it a grt drive for the price and performence it delivers. the 1TB performs better and has a lil more space but in return costs twice as much.
