best hard drive for gaming

no its not, lol.

here's a recent round up

www.xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/display/500gb-hdd-roundup_18.html#sect0

both the 500gb black and seagate 7900.12 are better, and the later is cheaper.

Don't understand ? the f3 looks to be the best drive overall even in that review ? show me the details of why they are better and faster ? as i cant see it in that review really.Aanyone got that wd black or seagate and can post hd tune benchmarks of well over 120mb sec ?

Don't understand ?
sums it up.

but for your benefit, having trouble reading, the top part of the conclusion.

"There are actually two winners: the Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 and the Western Digital Caviar Black. The former has somewhat higher sequential read and write speeds as it has only one platter inside. The latter benefits from quicker heads and showed faster processing of files in FC-Test."

next part a little further down,

"If you are not looking for record-breaking products but need just a regular and good HDD, your choice is much broader. There is the splendid Samsung SpinPoint F3"

record-breaking- meaning its real-life/real use speed

Sums what up all you do is go around looking for reviews that suit your opinion
show me the wd and seagate doing over 120mb sec in hd tune then ? and don't pretend that you understand everything in that review

lmao so they perform faster in certain benchmark applications ? that means nothing at all
i am pretty sure there's not much in it and they all do around 120mb sec you are ocuk #1 knit picker tbh
I could follow you around looking at your posts and find reviews that fit in with proving you wrong but I have a life.

I purposely didn't link to a Bit-tech review just so you didn't throw your toys out of your pram, but yet your proved wrong-again, and still not happy
 
I am still waiting for the hd tune benchmark proving me wrong ? show me the wd black and seagate doing well over 120mb sec and i'll eat humble pie.
 
I have just done a quick search and theres hundreds of experienced people saying the f3 is still the fastest 500gb drive so why aren't you in all their threads proving them wrong with your review sites opinions ? or do you have a life ?

truth is they are all probably neck and neck or there abouts you are just knit picking because you have some personal vendetta against me ? others in this thread said the f3 was best yet you didn't pull them up ? can you drop this knit picking vendetta ?

but i do, check some of general hardware spec threads, where i either point them to the reviews, or pull them up on the 8** AMD chipset and samsung 500gb F3 issue, but your so preoccupied editing your posts 4 or 5 times you dont notice it

correcting typos and I have looked and you aren't in any of those threads according to this site :D
 
:D:D I think that's what you call owned

not when the OP asks for "the best harddrive for gaming" that quote is from a completely different thread, probably a spec check?

OWNED yourself.

blimey, its been more than a two minutes and you haven't edited that above post

Go for any single platter 500gb drive don't worry about web site benchies as there is less than a ginger pube between them in real life, some of those tests were probably hampered by flatulence around the air cooling of those PC's during the benchies.

Only worth getting the Seagate if it scores above 5.9 in the Windows Index ;)
 
i also vote for a sammy f3, have a couple ov 'em. i was impressed how fast metro 2033 loaded between levels.
