Hello my lovelies!
At this moment in time, I have a 250GB Hard drive and I have noticed that nearing the end of storage capacity has caused my hard drive to slow down, as it the speed has dropped off...Is this because the read / write heads have to move to different platters near to the end of the drive?
Let me put it this way, the Samsung F1 1TB has 3 x 334GB platters. If I purchased it, and transferred everything over from my current drive, only 200GB of platter number one will be used, correct? If so, there will not be any speed drop off as only platter one access is needed and so he read / write heads don't need to move to the other platters, which would cause speed issues, right?
Thanks for any info on this topic.
