Honestly nothing... BS, you have no proof to backup your threadcrap.Honestly Samsung drives suck.
Ya, dead deal
Honestly nothing... BS, you have no proof to backup your threadcrap.
The Samsung F1 and F2 are among the best drives you can get, way better track record than the 7200.11 Seagates being sold all over the place. And it's fast as heck compared to other 5400rpm drives.
um, ok. That was when they were $200. They're $160 now, sillygoose.

For those looking to store large movie files, 5400rpm drives are more than enough, especially with these newer generation 5400rpm drives. The Ecogreens and WD Green drives have been well tested for this purpose, and come highly recommended.sorry guys... i work for a very large company as a storage tech.
I see the performance of 7200 - 15000k drives in every single array type (raid 0 - raid 60) you can think of.
THERE IS NO WAY you could get me to run anything slower than a raid-0 w/ two 7200RPM drives in my personal rig... no freakin way.
I wouldn't even use those for space - if you are to unrar large files, the times would be horrendous. And even worse if you were transfering lots of small files.
not thread crapping, just throwing the old two pence in there.

Aren't people also forgetting the 3x500GB platters? This should make up for lost rpm, just like the 640GB Blue/Black drives?
got my order in yesterday and threw them in the server. No issues and it seems newegg has gotten a little better on drive shipments.
Define a little better? did they add more packing peanuts?
Mine arrived yesterday. They came in their plastic trays, then wrapped in 1-2 inches of bubble wrap and then put in a larger sized box with peanuts. I thought the packaging was very good.
The drives are already in my system!
Haven't seen peanuts in a while. I guess the paper is more biodegradable.
Heh. Breakthroughs in packing peanuts have resulted in completely non-toxic and water-soluble peanuts. Even edible.
Although they have some negatives.

IS IT HARMFUL TO WILDLIFE OR PETS?
No. Although not particularly tasty, PUFFY STUFF is even edible and digests easily. Try it!
I'd actually prefer 5400rpm green drives for storage. Lower heat==lasts longer, and that's really the most important thing. Copying to the drive may be a little bit slower, but these are plenty fast enough to stream movies off.
It can remain edible forever.
So? Aren't Darwin awards always waiting?I understand your point, but it still sounds like a darwin award waiting to happen...
False...the Google testing refuted this belief. While excessive heat might kill a drive, typical heat does not.
