Ste Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductCompa...N82E16822148017 one costs 22$ more and has less features, everything else is the same I need quick replay buying soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

94Camaro Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 Look what google found! http://techreport.com/reviews/2004q4/seaga...cq/index.x?pg=1 Main difference is that ncq thingy Edit: Oh yeah, no idea why the price would be lower though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 (edited) So get the one with NCQ? That really makes no since, the one with less features costs more. Damm. I just relized i spelled sense like since, wrong word. Lol Edited May 16, 2005 by Ste Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykocus Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 perhaps seagate is offering some kind of incentives (i.e. discounts to newegg) to get the ncq drives out into peoples hands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigen Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 lol "This makes no since." sorry i just can stop laughing at how ironic that is. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravy Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 i read a review somewhere and it showed NCQ making a measureable difference in transfers, much faster, but i want to say your mobo or IDE controller or something had to support it to work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CmpFreak88 Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 Yeah, it is better but you have to have a motherboard that can support it. Maybe not many support it yet so there's not much of a demand for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazymonkey500 Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 the cheaper one is the newer model, like everyone else said, the price is lower probably because it is in less of a demand. If you have a new(er) mobo, i would just get the cheaper one and you should have no problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammin Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 The link that camaro posted (if anyone read it) actually seemed to suggest that NCQ slows the drive down in a single user application environment. It does speed things up considerably when there are lots of random multi-users I/O functions though (in web servers and the like). SO... just get the one with NCQ and if your mobo supports it (nf4 but not nf3 from what the article says) try it with and without it enabled to see if it makes a difference.
