Waco Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Ahem.. that's sad to hear. Curious though, were they the Samsung originals or the re-brands? Originals. Essentially all 7200 RPM drives of modern descent will be the same in terms of speeds though. A percent here or there isn't going to change much. OP - do you need high sustained speeds or high IOPs? If it's just the first, and you have a good backup solution (or don't need one), two or three of any 1 TB 7200 RPM drives in RAID 0 will scream.

cjloki Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Don't forget that Samsung drives are now produced by Seagate, so I don't know if I would assume that the F3 is as fast as it once was. OMG ! ooh noo ...that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjloki Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 You sound like you have a serious boner for these Samsung F3 1TB drives... It's too bad we just had one of these die a couple weeks back. heehee panda said "boner" HAAhaa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have both because 7200 RPM drives can only spin at 7200 RPM. If you want more IOPs you need a 10K RPM drive, a 15K RPM drive, or some sort of solid state disk. You haven't really said what you're doing yet but if all you need is sustained read/write speeds a few HDDs in RAID 0 will do what you want. If you need IOPs and sustained read/write speeds you either need a large SSD setup or some form of SSD caching in front of a few drives in RAID 0.

cjloki Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 maturity level -- waht i had hoped to do is replace the raided 500g cav blacks in my main office rig with a single modern drive of higher storage capacity, (so i can add more stuff) and higher iops/speed, make an image of the raid, then transfer the lot to the new drive,... i know ssd's are fast an all, but they lack the capacity i'm looking for all of my household and business files and tools, and the expense to get what i want would be more than i care to bear right now, so that pretty much leaves me with either a large cav black or a large velociraptor,....i am now researching drive platter density to find the best ! ...i deserved that panda lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 If you're just storing things over the network that'll be your limitation. Just grab any large 7200 RPM drive and call it a day. Even the 5900 RPM drive I just used in a new build can sustain over 100 MB/s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
