Looking for a new HDD, and looking between, Samsung F3 and F4 ...

The diff between F3 and F4 are:

F3 running on 7200rpm with 32mb BM
F4 running on 5200rpm with 32mb BM

So, would really like to know live review how big is the diff or maybe what is the diff between them since f3 running on 7200rpm

checked on Samsung Website and found that f4 is actually slower than f3 by only 1 sec tongue.gif

*edited, got wrong info.

should compare with the same size..
ofcourse got slight different.. but not that bad like using usb or old hdd..
not notice much..

if want to make a main drive better take 7200rpm..
*
F4 Mainstream Capacities is only from 250 to 320GB
and
F4EG Mainstream Capacities from 1.5 TB to 2TB

so cant really compare in the same size

For wat I experience is that 5400rpm has less problem than 7200rpm. Cause rpm simply means the number of times the disk spin using disk arms. Less spin means less problem happened. Few years ago i did try to compare btw 5400rpm and 7200rpm, it has a huge gap to be honest. But from the result it only has 1 sec diff which I feel is quite shocked.

I think someone has asked this question, roughly when will the F4 series out? Will the price like !@#!$#, lolz. Now F3 1Tb is so cheap I can even buy 3 HDD already  biggrin.gif

I am in Perth at the moment and F4EG is on market now. Price for F4EG 2TB = $145 Aud = Rm435. Samsung F3 is selling on the price $79 (Rm237). So, I guess the price is not ^#^%$@. Not sure about F4 itself

Hey Guys, wondering can anyone tell me how to pick or differentiate SSD? Looking forward to get a SSD for my bootup drive but not sure how to pick. Google around but still not confirm.
