When is F4 coming out ? Will it be exactly 1st September ??

I need to get these drives asap for my QNAP 659 nas :/

Is it possible to preorder the Samsung F4EG 2 TB ????

Please i need to get it as soonest as possible upon release. Where can i go to order them upon release ?

Where can i order the new A-data NH03 external storage ?

Where can i order Samsung F4 ?? Can anyone please help.

Samsung F3 2tb i would suggest. It's 5400 rpm but don't let it's spindle speed fool you. It can walk the walk with the other 2tb 7200rpm drives out there

Uses less watts, less noise and generates less heat as well, yet price if cheap per gig and performance almost the same as the 2tb 7200rpm drives. Whats not to like

I am using for storage purposes. If you want for your OS, i would suggest using a single SSD for OS, and use the samsung for storage.


@ahsiah

Thanks but i don't think i can wait. My QNAP 659 just arrived in Malaysia. It may be sent to me today, so seems i will have to settle for the Samsung 2tb F3 :/ oh well.

SAMSUNG HD203WI

It's a 2tb 5400 rpm 32mb cache drive using 4 platter.

The Samsung F4 coming out in September 2010 is 3 platter, uses less watts, and uses safer ROHS compliant materials.

I installed 4 of the Samsung F3 HD203WI into my QNAP 659 as EXT4 raid5. No problems even after doing smart disk complete test :}


You can forget 1.5tb, and just get the Samsung hd i got. Best bang for buck and good performer for storage.

I leave my QNAP 659 on all day. The temperatur for the drives is between 38°C/100°F to 40°C/104°F.

But i'm not too sad because it's still a good drive

I heard the Hitachi 2tb 7200 rpm drive which is 5 platter if i am not mistaken, runs at a higher temperature and is noiser. Consumes more power to boot

That was why i went with the Samsung F3 2tb instead because of a very similar performance in read/write but still beats out in those other areas.
