Workstation I/O Performance per Watt
In this test we first look at the I/O performance under workstation-like environments, focusing on the maximum number of I/O operations per second. The results don’t come unexpected, of course. The Spinpoint F RAID wins, the Spinpoint F is second, and the EcoGreen F provides the lowest transaction performance for workstations.
However, the picture drawn by our power consumption testing is entirely different. The EcoGreen F consumes the least power for the given tasks, while the others require similar amounts of power. Putting performance and power requirements into relation changes the picture, though.
As the performance disadvantage of the EcoGreen F drive isn’t as large as the power savings, it actually reaches far better power efficiency for workstation-type I/O operations. The energy-efficient drive clearly delivers more workstation I/O operations per watt.

WTF is that amch questionmarket survey that keeps hijacking my browser everytime I continue to the next page! It's getting pretty annoying and I don't 'qualify' for the survey but that doesn't stop them from trying.. >
No surveys showing up here.
What survey? No problems going page to page on 3 separate systems I checked with. Maybe your infected?
I just imagine that smug little cat saying "no problems here" like it knows whats going on. That pic makes me laugh, all the smugness
i hope to see performance of Raid configuration on popular chip sets. Raid 0,5. I have 2 Spinpoint F mainstream model drives on my nforce4 sli Raid 0, and i can fell the differents in performance comparing 2 my old two 250 wd raid drives (Raid 0).
Could you perhaps do some comparisons with the WD Caviar Green? Its not listed on the main spec page, but these drives are supposed to have a variable rotation speed; between 5400 and 7200. If the Samsung is fixed 5400, then there might be some performance differences!

Link failure. :\
Er, ignore that. Replied in the wrong tab.
What I wanted to post here is that I also want to see a comparison with the 5400/7200 variable speed drives. Does that offer any real advantage, and what about the power savings?
Yes! Finally another hard drive review, because these are so much different than the last hard drives that were reviewed.
Can we have another SSD review this week too? You know, one that shows how great the SSD performs but how it also costs too much?

nah I'm clean.
Looks like it's gone now. It used to be a little popup window before that i blocked but today it was more aggressive and annoying. And I've never seen it on any other sites, only here at toms, must be some sponsor or smthgn... Heres hoping they got ridd of it permanently
YEAH RIGHT ECOLOGICAL DRIVES MY ASS
samsung latest batch of 1tb drives could not perfrom well at high speeds so, what thye do
sell them as eco friendly low spinning drives yay!
...
The "green" moniker is obvious marketing babble. These drives are designed and very well suited for non-pc appliances like settop boxes and game consoles. In the pc arena you mentioned HTPC and NAS but office pc's can also use a quiet and cool running drive. To me all these lower performance applications look like at least 50% of the market.
1 TB is now in Your notebook. Take Dell Precision M6400

Wait, is it just me or is Kari also Randomizer...? Hmm. Delete the profiles? Check ISP #s? Where is the Stasi when you need them.
Wait, is it just me or is Kari also Randomizer...?
Why would you say that? And why would I need another profile?
