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.

Best NCQ drive?

sdadept said:I've got several seagate 7200.8 drives that I always run with full NCQ turned on (both the drive ncq and the raid card's ncq) and they have been performing exceptionally well for me.
So do I and I fully agree.
Seagate 7200.8 all the way!!
Attean said:hmm is the seagate faster than the maxline 3 because the maxline is $30 cheaper for the 300gig.
Don't know. Your mission is to go to their websites, look at the stats and report back.
I prefer Seagate because of their track record. They make very high quality drives that are quite quiet. Its your data for god sake!! Reliablity should be as important, if not more important, that speed. (That statement was made under the assumption that the drives are very close in speed, which I have already stated that I don't know.)

They're pretty close, but the maxtor just inches ahead. I have the 250gb version from my sig running flawlessly.

I like my maxtor diamondmax 10 i just picked up for my music.. 300gb 16mb cache w/ NCQ and is also SATA-150 and i'm as happy as can be with it, really would recommend it if you are looking for medium/high storage that also has NCQ tech. Other than that my Barracuda 160gb 7200.8 w/ NCQ runs well.
Someone here brought up the possibility of a technical/performance issue with the seagate 7200.8s, maybe a week ago. Look further back in this thread if you want to see it. It was way over my head, but could be worth the read if you're considering buying the drive.
thx wake that was a fascinating read. It looks like the 7200.8 and maxline III are pretty close performance wise but the 7200.8 has a slightly faster random access. I think I'll just go with the 300gb no matter what because of the issue with the 133gb platter seek times.
