I've had it with Seagate drives, so i bought a western digital. Anyone have experiences with Samsung drives?
1.5TV, Ben?
best ones I've ever had (that being said, HDD's tend to not working; it does not matter what company is making them). I have 6 1.5tb samsungs and 4 1.5tb seagates. They all work great; though the samsungs are cooler than seagates, of course.
hmm, tried the code on another Samsung drive, the HE103UJ, and no go... bummer.
#2: Tera-volts!
This might not be a bad deal if it operated at typical standard hard drive voltage, but considering that you will have to buy a step up transformer to get all the way to 1.5 Tera-volts you will face an astronomical cost just to use this.
No deal. Total scam.
Too bad this one is 5400rpm, I need one to be put inside my pc. For external use, this one is fine.
500GB/platter 5400RPM drives are just as fast for desktop use and last gen 7200RPM drives #7, you'd do well to ignore what you think you know and just go by benchmarks as always if that last 10% difference really matters in your use.
Not really, data density is only one factor, there is also the seek time which favors the higher rpm substantially. Also, I was comparing to 500GB/platter 7200 rpm drive too, of course.

Yes, really. Even if loading an application causes 1000 I/Os, there is only a roughly 1ms difference between the two RPMs, that's 1 second total. The higher read and write speed from the higher density platter is more than a 1 second difference with that many I/Os. However, I am talking about the average performance across all last generation versus current generation drives, as always there are best of class and worst of class products.
There are certain applications that are quite latency sensitive, small delivered data sets like a database or webserver, but not on the typical desktop system including running the OS.
If you were comparing 500GB/platter 7K2 RPM then you are correct but note above I specifically wrote last-generation, there were no last generation 500GB/platter drives.
