VERY nice for a single hard drive. What is it?
Seagate 7200.11 1TB :)
It's good but I am sorry to hear it's a Seagate and not a faster, quieter and cehaper Samsung F1. :(
As said that's a great speed for a single drive but random access time is higher than than average though.
There isn't much between that and my RAID0 on the sequential read speed, so thats nice :)
My burst is much higher though. Tempted to get one myself now! Aggh!
I'm running two Seagate 250GB 7200.10s in RAID0, and they're quite fast. You picked a good drive, mate. :-D Its what I was going to buy (except as a 500GB model) before I decided to go RAID. The next time i reboot, I'll shut down everything (like the thing recommends) and test my own drives; it oughta make an interesting comparison since my drives are just a generation older. :)
Average read is pretty good, access time is pretty bad :) It's a disk to store lots of data though rather than a rapid database/game launching device I guess. I'd like one to back up my NAS box, I'll make do with two 500GB in RAID0 for now though.
Good buy though :)
Don't tempt me! I have 7 disks in my PC already, I fear another one would push my PSU over the edge! There's always a second ESata port on my motherboard though I guess....hmmmmm
I've just noticed you haven't flicked the jumper on the drive from SATA I to SATA II, as your burst speed shows. Change it! :)
SHould receive my drive on Tuesday, looking forward to it. How much did you pay for it used?
