Does we see any other better bench mark other than the faster read or write on hd alone.

QUOTE(vearn27 @ Oct 7 2008, 09:44 AM) LOL, do you know that your current WD My Book Essential is using the same HDD as the one in your desktop? ya,power adapter can be very messy. Yeah, you're right. The different just the extra build being external. Once again, it depends on what you need and how you want it to be  . For me, if I need not travel around with load of data, I would rather make it inside the case. Simple reason, I don't want another power adapter on my socket   |

2) Being use externally, 2.5" can be powered by USB (1 x USB2.0 or 2 x USB1.1) while 3.5" will need extra power adapter. 3) 3.5" has larger capacity limitation compared to 2.5" and capacity / RM more value on the 3.5" |

QUOTE(tech_frix @ Oct 7 2008, 03:03 PM) what do u mean by that?? anything u donno u may ask here. FYI, i'm super noob in HDD.... well when i buy hdd i will consider few thing: brand name (wd, seagate, hitachi, samsung), warranty (3 or 5 yrs), size (++GB), connection interface (sata or pata), rpm speed (5400, 7200, 10000) & cache (8, 16 or 32 MB). if you got more money then u can always go for larger or faster harddrive. that's it. |

well..depends...seagate 500gb 32mb vs wd 640gb 16mb...most review show wd is faster...but seagate burst speed is high...mayb because of the cache? raid0 is just like running ram at dual channel..but if u run at raid 0..its superb fast i can say...
