^^I dont think that is available in 500 GB sizes(platter density being 333 GB per platter), the size if im not mistaken is 640 GB, or is that the WD drive.

Sandy, if its not the 7200.11 what is it? :S
 
wana guess what drive this is ? this is the drive loaded with stuff

If it is the WD 640GB HDD can you please mention price paid and where did you get it from, the WD 640GB HDD is the one I have been waiting for some time now. This has 2 x 320GB platters.

The intial reports on the WD 640GB HDD is not very good. It seems it has a high access time.

Eazy, Is WD 640GB is better than 2*Seagate 320GB 7200.11 (Single Flatter/115MB)?

I have not seen any proper reviews on the WD 640GB yet, but it looks good on paper and I have a gut feeling that it is going to be a good HDD :ohyeah:

If you have the time I would suggest you read thru the thread I linked to in my fist post here - the Seagate 1 TB 7200.11 looks like a really GREAT HDD.
 
The 320 GB is 7200.10, 160 GB per platter. The 7200.11 is 250 GB per platter and only 500/750/1000 GB with the exception of the 250 GB 7200.10 which is a rebadged 7200.11 and is single platter. Id expect the WD 640 GB to perform very well, but 95MB/s is kinda low for the avg speed. Ive heard that the 500 GB 7200.11 gives similar speeds

Came across this thread in Storagereview.com about the NCQ performance of the Seagate 1 TB 7200.11 - this is a real killer HDD. Read this thread and check the results, this seems to be the FIRST HDD with proper implementation of NCQ

Jus read it..

Real silent and even with 9instances of the program running, @ 90MB/s which's close to the speed it runs @ 1 instance..

Seems noise is real low as well..

A good drive..

Thanks for the info Eazy sir.. :)

Price'd be anywhere b/w 11-13k I guess..
 
Just spotted this,thought id share

Turns out ST3320613AS is the first and only (as of now?) seagate 7200.11 to use 320gb platter!

See the sustained data rate gone up to 115M ,from 105Mof other 7200.11s

from what i understand... NCQ - native command queing...

this basically means that.. the hard disk can optimize the the sequence in which the read/write commands recieved by the hdd are executed.

edit: ahh well... wiki knows all

The best explanation of this I have seen is the sequence of the data being picked up from a HDD compared to an Elevator....

suppose you have a Elevator full of people and the first person presses the button for Floor 5 and the next presses 2 and then 7 and then 1 and then 8 - if the Elevator went to the floors in the sequence of the buttons being pressed then it would be like a HDD with NO NCQ and the Elevator would be going up and down a lot ....... but .... if the Elevator is programmed that 1 is folllowed by 2 and then 3 and 4 and so on, and it stops at each floor in sequence not bothering about which floor's button was pressed first then THAT is like using NCQ :ohyeah:
