They have it, but they aren't selling it until requested by customers because they still need to clear the F3EG stock first.

I on the PC, then I heard loud spinning noise, I thought is the DVD-Rom, after a few second smoke came out from that HDD. Faster off the pc but it's too late.

Right now theres still no SpinPoint version for the F4.
So 1TB F3 remains the fastest mechanical 1TB HDD out there right now.

Note that despite F4EG is listed under the SpinPoint table, it is technically an in-between hybrid of the Samsung green drives and the spinpoints.

Very much akin to the WD Black, Blue and Green monicker.

Just got 4x 2TB Samsung F4EG from C-Zone a few days back.

I was actually hunting for 2TB drives for my new NAS and was ready to commit to the WD Green but luckily enough I dropped by here and got good info on the Samsung F4EG. rclxms.gif

Oh crap... mad.gif I hope it's the F3 they advertised. When I was there, they only offered me the F4EG...
