Best 750GB hard drive out at the moment?

Craig321 · 6 Apr 2008 at 02:00

Am I right in saying the Seagate 7200.11 750GB is pretty much the best at the moment? I've seen speeds of 90mb/s on a single 1TB 7200.11.

Do these speeds only apply to the 1TB version or would a 750 run that fast?

My 750GB Hitachi peaks at around 90MB/s

My Samsung F1 peaks at 118mB/s and averages 90mB/s.

The Samsung SpinPoint F1 750GB or Western Digital Caviar SE16 750GB - the best value for money would be the Samsung...

Not the 750GB.

That uses 3 x 250GB platters, you got a screenshot of that under test ?

So which drives currently have a single platter with the 90mb/s+ speeds?

if its just a data drive in a fileserver is there any point in me paying an extra £20-£30 for a drive other than the samsung F1 which iv seen for £73 inc del at a few places
