Anyone know how is the performance and which one will last longest if compare between seagate 750gb 32mb with WD cavier green 16mb 640gb. Which one is more realiable?
*
FYI, the 640gb is NOT the green power HDDs... its the normal caviar but with really good performance...

green power HDDs consume less power but also sacrifices on performance.

So, there is no limit/corrupt/error of transfer file if using the high RPM fan? 1 TB to 1 TB, is it possible? brows.gif

Check this out:
500 GB Hard Disk Drive Round-Up

If you're lazy to read, here's the conclusion:

QUOTE
Here is a breakdown of what we found out about each hard drive included in our round-up:

rclxub.gif Hitachi Deskstar P7K500 (HDP725050GLA360): It is cheaper than the other reviewed drives and, believe, there is a reason for that: lower performance. Even though it achieved an average transfer rate comparable to Samsung’s model, it has a terrible access time. Don’t buy.

hmm.gif Samsung Spinpoint F1 DT (HD502IJ): Although it is faster than Western Digital Caviar SE16, it is slower than Seagate Barracuda 7200.11. It is an option only if you can’t find Seagate Barracuda 7200.11.

thumbup.gif Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 (ST3500320AS): This is the drive we recommend for the average user. It provides a performance higher than other mainstream units at the same price range, thus providing the best cost/benefit ratio. If you can spend a little more a better option is the new Western Digital RE3.

hmm.gif Seagate Barracuda ES.2 (ST3500320NS): An enterprise drive with good performance, but Western Digital RE3 is faster and thus our recommended product for this segment.

sweat.gif  Seagate SV35.3 (ST3500320SV): A hard disk drive targeted to digital video surveillance systems with a good transfer rate. What killed this hard disk drive was its access time: it was the drive with the worst access time in our round-up. Don’t buy. Western Digital RE3 costs the same thing and is faster.

rclxub.gif Western Digital Caviar GP (WD5000AACS): This is a “green” drive with variable rotational speed in order to save energy. We didn’t measure power consumption, so we can’t talk specifically about energy savings. Its performance was one of the worst and thus we can’t recommend this product. Don’t buy.

rclxub.gif Western Digital Caviar SE (WD5000AAJS): Performance worst than the majority of drives we tested, probably due to its lower buffer size (8 MB). Don’t buy.

rclxub.gif Western Digital Caviar SE16 (WD5000AAKS): Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 is far faster and costs the same thing. Don’t buy.

rclxub.gif Western Digital RE2 (WD5001ABYS): Lousy performance. Don’t buy.

notworthy.gif  Western Digital RE3 (WD5002ABYS): This was the best drive in our review. But since it is targeted to the enterprise market – meaning it has a higher reliability – it costs more. If you are looking for an enterprise-class product, this is the one you should pick. This product is also recommended to regular users that want a higher performance and can pay a little bit more to have the fastest 500 GB drive around. Of course a VelociRaptor 300 GB will be faster, but it costs far more and you will have less storage space: if you want to have more than 300 GB you will have to buy and put two of these in RAID0, what will create a huge hole in your wallet.

500GB is easily used up. Especially for pirates (almost everyone? ph34r.gif )

If you have interest in movies and music, go get Rapidshare premium account, or an unthrottled BT connection, 500GB is easily filled wink.gif Especially for HD stuffs shakehead.gif

When you want sell me HDD full of prawns? brows.gif brows.gif brows.gif

Raid0 won't result in a HDD failure... It'll just function like a HDD and it stripe your DATA into 2 HDD for faster access... If one fails, ALL data gone lor...

Everybody is soooo concerned with access time... seek time and whatever speed bump but I hardly see people go RAID0... Why ahh?
