	why does this review only compare it to crap HDDs? throw in some 10k rpm HDDs and some SSDs. the review is too limited without these.

	i wonder if its possible to do that seagate tweak where you limit the maximum space available to attain speeds comparable to the 10K raptors. im sure you guys know what im referring to. quote Nu Wa Rocks How is it fair to compare it to a 10K drive or a SSD? The read and write won't be the same. You compare the drive to similar revolution drives. Get real... its still a good idea. its not to say that this drive is crap, but its a great way for someone to determine if its worth getting an SSD, 10K, or 7200. though, for anyone wanting a 2TB drive, i doubt theyd consider much else. -------------------

If you're looking for a 2TB HDD, correct me if I'm wrong but, you're looking for storage space not speed. If you want speed then go grab yourself a 32-64GB SSD, or make yourself a raid 5 or 10 with these drives. ------------------- Maximus V Gene* 3570K - 4.4GHz* XFX R7950DD* Mushkin Blackline 16384MB* Silverstone 850w* LG W2442PA* Intel 330 SSD & HDD's*

	Exactly. If you need a decently fast drive with a ton of storage, go for this one. If all you need is speed, then a SSD is better.

	quote Shortstroking. aha, thats the one i was talking about. now even if you cut this drives capacity in half, you are greatly reducing the number of tracks. not halfway across, but even further out being the minimum. a terabyte drive with access times significantly reduced - now thats something to be a little impressed over. one thing ive always wondered was why is it that there is always a single read/write head per platter? who not multiple? would that be better? -------------------

	regardless of why you would want the drive... comparing a 7200 2TB drive with the 10K velociraptor or an SSD is like comparing a Volkswagon Jetta to a Porsche... The price is different as well as the speed. I can understand if the review is done just for the sake of saying the review was done, but the results would be irrelevant. I can understand if the SSDs were reviewed and compared against each other, but this comparison makes no relevance or sense. ------------------- No gaming right now... my T42 video is toast (almost)...

	The price will drop soon. It's just brand new out in production while SSD and velociraptor prices hover around the same. ------------------- No gaming right now... my T42 video is toast (almost)... I'm getting zig zaggy lines all over the place. Neo HTML Markup help
