Oh My God...
ST3500320AS
Mine is Seagate 500gb.
looks like i just brought a ticking time bomb. ou god...

Btw, i wanted to ask about caviar black.. there's certain stuff that i'm not confirm yet. i'm trying to check the price for WD Caviar Black 500GB 640GB 750GB and 1TB.

and there's also some performance difference between the (500,750)Gb and (640,1000)Gb. There's some other forum comparing and saying about 640gb and 1 tb is taking advantage on larger platter.

and there's some forum saying about Caviar black is not good for Raid 0 settings. is it only 1tb bad for raid 0 or not? i'm still confused about these details. if black is not suitable for Raid 0, how about Caviar Blue? i just want best performance for my pc.

7200.12 memory cache is base on how big is the HDD
250gb = 8mb cache
500gb = 16mb cache
750gb = 32mb cache
1000gb = 32mb cache

that's what i saw on some certain website info.
but i was hoping to see higher memory cache like... 1000gb for 64mb cache WTF LOL. just joking xD

oh, thanks alot for the link, but i was just mentioning about 7200.12 barracuda, 750gb and 1000gb has 32mb cache.

i want to ask about raid 0 and single hdd without any raid0

I heard that there's a software raid and a hardware raid.

some one told me that hardware raid0, is the same as a single hdd for the risk of losing data, is that true?

if i get 2 samsung spinpoint F3 500gb raid0, will it be better than i get a samsung spinpoint F3 1TB single hdd ?

and some one explain the risk? and difference about software raid0 and hardware raid0 ?

difference is 5400 RPM VS 7200 RPM

actually, there's a slightly difference, but the major factor, is you mind or you don't mind about the little difference.

But i think green version is very good for storage

one of the hardware that bottleneck pc perfomance

sadly, i think the answer is a no.(if for using high speed cable)

if using higher speed hdd, then, the only thing that improve will be game loading time.

if you're talking about game performance, no

if you're talking about game loading time, yes(only if you raid 0 or SSD)

all this above is only based on my personal knowledge. which is not 100% correct.

how much is samsung F3 spinpoint 7200rpm , 500gb, 750gb and 1tb ?

speedwise i think samsung spinpoint still wins over caviar black, Caviar black new version only has 64mb cache, and new choices of 3.0 gbps sata or 6.0 gbps.

just gone to kangaroo to self pickup my lovely Samsung Spinpoint F3 1tb from lingloong.

When i open the box, it is HD103UJ. WTF

Look at below for reference, if your hdd is other model number from the list below, it's not F3.

i wanted to move all my 7200.11 seagate 500gb files and windows to my new samsung hdd, can anyone recommend any software to do it ?

decided to move all my files onto new hdd and use new hdd as boot system, while the old hdd will be set as file backup

Hmm, currently i'm trying Norton Ghost. well, it nearly screw me thou.

first i was able to clone the hdd, when rebooting, if conflicted with my current hdd and screw all my volume letter.

well... nevermind about it, i actually learned how to revert back. learn new stuff everyday...

But seems now i having some problem with MBR, does anyone here actually know after cloning a hdd, how to actually set your default boot to the new hdd without booting the old hdd, seems if 2 harddrive has MBR as well, it will conflict.

then? only take out 1 time? and then reboot, and shutdown, attach back the hdd back and turn on?
