I sent my HDD for RMA in Seagate Singapore and I got the stuff back in a week time. Item is well packed when received .... of course you need to follow the packaging instructions before you send out the HDD. |

The fastest 1TB harddrive is actually the Samsung Spinpoint F1 HD103UJ.
Now I know there's gonna be some skepticism, so look below. These benchmarks show it beating the 3 major competing models from Seagate, WD, and Hitachi (formerly IBM). http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/samsun...ng,1730-11.html http://www.storagereview.com/php/benchmark..._3=354&devCnt=4 This link is to Storage Review's database. http://www.storagereview.com/Testbed4Compare.sr These benchmarks show the Samsung regularly performing at the top of its class. In some benches and games it even beats the Raptor X 150GB. Only the VelociRaptor and SCSI/SAS/FC 15k drives are faster. |
