• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Both are seagates:
ST3250310AS
ST3250620AS

It seems to me the first one makes less noise and is faster, but theyre supposed to be near identical. Also the second one is twice as "fat" physically as the first one, which gioves me the idea it uses older technology or 2 platters instead of 1. I want to install a new OP system on the second, thinking if it will be a big difference if I installed it on the first one instead?
 
Check the performance.
HDTune is good.
Compare the performance of different block sizes (change it in the config), 4K is used a lot by Windows for small file transfers.
