Samsung Spinpoint F3 is fast but i am still doubt with their disk reliability.

Was look around in the forum, found that most of the seller were selling at 275-295 but i got mine from nic (1 of the local seller in my place) which cost me 265/pcs. So loot two unit at the same time. The price is shooting up soon.

This the 1st time I turn over to Samsung bro.. But I keep that two f3 for storage purpose. A little bit of waste. Haha! My main drive still is Seagate 500gb. Selling off my raptor cause wanna have lesser hdd and gain the most cap.

Yea! Is darn fast! Get around 100mb/s constant for copying files into this fella. And another good thing is, this fella quite cold. Even in loading, hardly to feel to heat when touch it.

for those who installed Win7 on S478

whats your reboot time?

nobody post in here

Can get constant writing speed on the HDD which is considering fast. Are you planning to RAID them ? Sell of your Seagate 500GB and make Samsung Spin F to be your main HDD there.

New script to check on the reboot time? I will need to reinstall back my Win7 then to try out.

at the moment, i would wanna sell of as a "complete" system....if there's no demand, then i'll sell of part by part...then will PM you if u want the rams...



my wife's rig is also using the samsung spinpoint...but dunno what model...been running for a coupla months now...seems ok...but it's only 500gb model...

@Ray
Not going to raid it.. once clash, my data all into the drain! Haha! Will gona use it as normal drive, Seagate 500GB still rocking ass. Its fast too.

Just reformatted to Win7 this morning at 1am~~

Now still tweaking it XD My god, my 5900XT is lowering my scores, my machine 1.0 nia

LEtting your your whole system? Nice 3.2GHz and XMS spotted.

Make them into RAID 1?

5900 is having a nightmare,it certainly can't cope with new instructions anymore.

no this rig laaa. letting go my standby rig...2.8ghz ht powered.

the 3.2ghz is still using...so won't be so early to let go.

Oh,2.8GHz rig.......I see your wife has a new rig already,she must be happy as you lapped the Zalman for her.

3.2Ghz still good you know especially for playing videos XD

Single core need high clockspeeds for smooth playback

@shinjite,agree single core with high clock speeds still able to handle video playback well. Your Win7 other than GC slow down,RAM and HDD can score average 4 points ?

Sked sked I cannot wait for long
P4 rig kinda "lags" after I plug in the 800GB HDD.

I wonder is the problem even related to each other or not or the system too syiok got huge storage space and decided to go slow.

Plugged in 800GB system becomes slow? Sounds like no logic behind.....

My scores are:

Processor Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.00GHz 4.3
Memory (RAM) 2.00 GB 5.3
Graphics 1.9
Gaming graphics 128 MB Total available graphics memory 1.0
Primary hard disk 42GB Free (50GB Total) 5.4

it happened to my friend's p4 pc before too..previously just running 80gb, booting into windows was really fast. when added a new 160gb hdd, it sort of like slowed down for 5-10 seconds..weird

hehehe....yeah...the missus is running a c2d rig...and very happy with it. the lapped zalman sure help in reducing temps...current coretemps are 31deg C average...


anyway, my spare rig for sale is running running win7... overall system rating only 2.9...

Added on December 18, 2009, 12:27 pmoverall system rating is how much? average of the 5? 4.6?

If you notice, Win 7 base score is determined by the lowest score on 1 of the components
The culprit for mine is the 5900XT GPU, only got 1.0, so my system is 1.0 only
Plus 5900XT doesn't support Aero

If its overall, its 3.58

If the GPU doesn't support AERO effects,the score will be pulled down dramatically.

@ravewar,your C2D idle temp is very good,i would say as good as P4 Northwood stock cooler temp. What is the GC are you with on the 2.8GHz rig?

Yeah that is so true, don't support Aero,prepare to get 1.0 which is the minimum already LOL
