Great, these have been a long time coming, ive had the 750 for a while, but these are meant to be the fastest F1s arnt they?

Stonedofmoo · 14 Aug 2008 at 15:37

I think these and the 640gig models are about the same.

its the same speed as the 640gb platinum87, around 90-95mb/sec read, 12.7ms ish seek.

probedb · 14 Aug 2008 at 20:38

Just ordered one

Wanted something quieter/almost as fast as my silly old Raptor and hopefully these fit the bill....

Free shipping is awesome too!! A certain competitor offered this through a certain forum as well.

Heres a hd tach from mine:

clocka · 14 Aug 2008 at 20:45

think i'll prob get 2 * Western Digital 250GB RE3 or 320GB RE3 drives, they are getting around 97mb/s read, 11.7ms access time (very fast), 5yr warranty and TWICE as fast in raid0 (195mb/s), normally when raided drives are around 70% faster. They are around £42 and £51 tho, not many places have the 320gb versions which i want, ocuk are charging a bit too much for my budget. Will be a lot faster when raided than these F1 320GB's in 195mb/s vs 165mb/s and 11.7ms vs 13.8ms but obviously costs more. They have hardware error detection too so will be much more reliable than f1's raided, hence the 5yr tasty warranty

KaneStatton · 14 Aug 2008 at 22:05

Wooohoooo my 500Gb Samsung just died so will get one of these, love you overclockers

probedb · 14 Aug 2008 at 22:10

Looking at that plot this drive is waaaay faster than my Raptor but not got as quick access time.

$ rate decline has meant £ prices go up I'm afraid and it's only set to get worse going on what the financial guru's are saying.

Just ordered this, hope its better than my old one !

Old drive gets this.....

clocka · 16 Aug 2008 at 19:46

hehe, yeah should be a bit quicker than 54mb/s

access time will be pretty similar tho.

Im getting quite a bit of lag in games. My hard drive loads and i lag.

I peak at 610mb ram and i have 2gigs, so aint ram. I have a dual core clocked to 3gigs, so not that!

Figured it could be the hard drive. If not, oh well still fancied a new one anyhow.

clocka · 16 Aug 2008 at 20:00

well yeah 54mb/s is pretty slow, 80mb/s is what the previous gen were getting, current 320gb platter drives get 90-98mb/s usually, will help you dramatically.
