Suggestion for a storage disk
Last response: in Storage
good morning everyone ![:)]( ":)")
i'm a little "confused"
i would like to buy a 1tb disk, i would like to have a "durable" disk...
i'm looking at samsung ecogreen f2 that is a 5400rpm wich has excellent r/w performances, and a just a little below average (7200) access time....
the other choice is a traditional samsung spinpoint f1 7200 that looking at this http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/samsung-overtakes-a...
is very very fast...
it's main use would be archive/storage, it's possible that it will be transformed in an external disk in 4 or 5 months....
so my question is
is the 5400rpm much more durable (less speed, lower temperatures, higher shock resistance[for example a kick at the table sometimes happens etc]) than a 7200 rpm disk?
probably i will install linux on a partition... but that is secondari than the "life" of the hard disk....

You might want to look at an enterprise type drive like the WD RE3 1tb drive:

Still, hard drives are very reliable, with 1,000,000 mean time to failure claimed. That is 100 years.
Data can be lost from a number of causes(failure, virus, error) so some sort of EXTERNAL backup should be put in place for your critical data.
