But you said 10 is enough to win

HA!

I said spot the 10 differences....

The 10 were of my choosing..... and you got 9!



Just wish my drives were the same... my RAID is suffering!!

[largon]

Mine are both Rev04.
:\

Largon, it sounds like your microphone was an inch away from the drive. Good stuff.

[Biker]

Biker.....how did the single platter WD320AAKS vs Samsung F1 testing go ?

Thanks

Sorry, man.

No chance to test yet as my order got messed up somehow!

Hopefully get 2 of the WD's next week.....

[xlink]

Where in AMERICA can i find these?

[largon]

It seems HD642JJ has more sturdy case compared to HD322HJ:

Largon, it sounds like your microphone was an inch away from the drive. Good stuff.

Less than an inch actually.
The drive was on a folded piece of foam and the mic was right between 'em.

what is funny, 500GB SAMSUNG and 750GB prices going up while new platter model 640MB going down now only 86€

[afX]

4x F1 @ 10% + iop341 = 500MB/s easy and half the ms

will definetely get 4 of these..

what does this mean... I understand the iop341 part but not the 10% part.
does he mean only using 10 of the platter which is the outside for better seeking and read/write? if so how do you do it?

[largon]

Yup, that means only 10% of the discs is in use so the head has very short distances to travel - the funny thing is this doesn't gain anything in real world because on non-fragged drives files are located just as close to each other as on this 10% array. The only application that gains is the random access time tests on HDD benchmarks.

omfg!!!! NEW PLATTER?

which one to choose :P

640GB Samsung HD642JJ 7200 16mb or 1000GB Samsung SpinPoint F1 32MB SATA II HD103UJ

both 334GB platter 100000% ?

[largon]

Now that's a considerably price drop. Almost 50% infact.

TEDY,
The part number is the same HD103UJ so the letter that codes the amount of heads (U=6) is the same thus the amount of platters is 3.

[marius7]

Soooo cheap . Hope it's not a mistake.....

[largon]

I don't see how it could be a mistake as there's dozens of vendors that offer the drive at this price point - or lower.

[marius7]

Well, now the price from mindfactory.de is 175.31 euro

[largon]

e-bug and lots of others are still <130.

[TEDY]

mindfactory are known to quickly change prices...

Enable Volume-Write-Back Cache in the Intel Raid manager tool. See what your results are then.
