please please² don't confuse..

as far as i knew..

500gb & 1tb F3 are 7200rpm
1.5tb & 2tb F3 are 5400rpm

but there are fast.. look on yangxi post of 2tb and it could be true for 1.5tb as well..

even i did the comparison between 1tb F3 with my own WD Black Carviar..

as for WD green mostly believe it's actually 5400rpm.. i heard enough on ppl regretting to own it at the first place.. especially on performance issue..

it's not about spec on papers.. i more prefer on the real life experience..
and i like when using F3 while transferring big files.. which indeed nowadays need.. gosh i sound like promoter.. lol..

price wise just same..
1.5tb F2 using 4platter while F3 just 3..
logic wise.. access faster..

actually i want to buy it last time.. but no stock.. coz the price just more RM10-15 compare to 1tb WD black..
but end up with 1tb F3 for rm260.. cheap..

i must be confused on the F1 then.. fiu..sorry²

IINM i read somewhere that F3 using less wattage than F2..

normally if bigger more slow coz alot of space to access..
but need to refer on how many platter on each hdd.. also the speed..
in that case raptor should faster..

got even.. 2tb.. but rated as 5400rpm..
and still fast..

u talking too much.. show me ecogreen..



i don't really care about the name, i just want the F3 performance..

just estimation..
2tb RM540
1.5tb RM320
1tb RM250

depends on seller..

or maybe that 500gb platter one?
never seen once here..

lok3i,

if u look back on your question i quoted @ the very beginning ur referring to the F3..

thus any size would taking place regardless what ever name they used to be..
lol the F3 itself not even stated on the label..

everybody can google..
if u ever knew the F3 performance is quite the same despite rated @ difference rpm.. not like wd..
that's the most important info u should know..

am i not stated the 5400rpm @ the first place?
lol u need some reading..

try ur self..

that's the reason why i asked u to try urself..
and compare them where possible..
why not u share with us the wd reading atleast?

for ur referrence :




last time wd green can't even reach 100MB/s.. mostly report around 88MB/s..
so F3 is preferred because it's faster and priced cheaper..

if wd can perform well, cheap with low temp n less noise.. great then..

then to answer about the..
"F3 performance is quite the same despite rated @ difference rpm"
which possible
115MB/s (5400rpm F3) - 130MB/s (7200rpm F3) transfer rate rather than less 90MB/s.. (wd green which is i donno they claimed as 7200rpm)

since u have WD Caviar Green 64MB, can share the reading with us?

it's just estimation.. if u look around or maybe nego abit, can get i think..
last time it's a hot item so no much stock, then they play with the price..

nice results.. still no news of 500gb/platter wd eh?

already here just jot the model no.

First u need to know it's Samsung spinpoint..
there are F1, F2 and the latest F3.. (revision btw)

they are different size rated @
-7200rpm
-5400rpm (this is so called spinpoint ecogreen - F3EG)

ofcourse higher rpm perform better, just that if we consider the size, price etc.. a slight performance different won't that bad either..

becoz just release recently.. u can try it out..

u should check what antonio posted..
if in raid i think maybe around 250MB/s..

why not 2x1tb.. since u have one..

i not sure what u seek.. if performance is not an option..
better just grab the 1.5tb version which i think the same price as 2x750gb..

with both running u need to consider heat, power consumption and also space for them..
