and expensive High end Hard drive), but lately I have been hearing from techs that they've replaced more Western Digitals then any other drive and that they, now, swear by Seagate. I've never owned a Seagate, I have three Western Digitals (all running as main...

the hottest 500GB hard drive going is the Spinpoint F3. Another contender would also be the Seagate Barracuda 7200.12, 750GB, 32MB Cache, but is this hard drive also a dual platter? Unfortunatly the charts do not include the 500GB or 640GB W.D. Black's...why's...

for $4499. This would give you 1.5 TB of storage in RAID 5, with a RAID-1 protected C: drive. If this somehow ended up not being fast enough (I seriously doubt), you can reconfigure the 4x 500GB drives for RAID 10 and have 1TB of storage. Later, to expand...

your processor? i7 920 Swap the hard drive out for a seagate 500GB 12 series drive, it costs less and is significantly faster than the WD 500GB drive because its single platter. i was interested in something with 32 mb cache is that something that will make...

Seagate drives.. Anyway.. I've used both the Seagate Barracuda 500GB as well as the Western Digital 500GB drives and the WD win hands down. My Seagate was loud (for a brand new drive) and died within months of installation. I RMA'd and the second died within...

drive. Quick run down on the specs: Western Digital 500GB drive (C:) Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB drive (D:) Windows XP SP3 When I either Shift+Drag or Cut/Paste files from the 1TB (D:) drive to the 500GB (C:) drive, the files will copy to the new...

to be the luck of the draw.... In my personal uses, I've used maxtor, seagate, western digital, and IBM.. Half my western digital and IBM drives have died, all my maxtor drives have died, none of my seagates have died. Seagates also have the longest warranty,...

significantly faster than the WD Caviar green(green means low power therefore a slower drive) and Seagate had some issues the last couple years so many people still avoid them. The samsung drive is quite good and less expensive than many other 500GB drives...
