what would be a big fast drive for mainly loading games and programs with some storage. i use ssd for boot drive.

was looking at the samsung f4.
 
The F3 may be a touch faster but if you need 2TB the F4 is no slouch.

Tests on my Samsung F4's carried out for someone else:

HDD1 long bench test:


HDD2 long bench test:


HDD3 long bench test:


HDD4 long bench test:


And for comparison a WD20EARS.

I have exactly the same requirement. I have an SSD for my OS, and a 140GB velociraptor for programs.
The speed is good, but lack of space is a constant problem, especially with the recent steam sales.

Was looking at the F3 but wondering if there are any further suggestions.
 
brought another ssd. but the question is do i need to install the intel storage drivers for the corsair drives ?
nvm i have marvell controller addon card which is so slow with this drive but was ok with my c300 64gig. would have been better getting a hdd :(

any 1 know if any faster 6Gb addon cards are due out ?
