Seagate F1 query

pascalbrown · Dec 24, 2007

I've got a quick query regarding the performance of the various sizes of these drives. I realise that the 1TB drive has a 3 platter design, but what about the 750GB one? Does anyone have any links for performance reviews? I've been led to believe these are the best large capacity SATA drives around but I'm all ears if someone can give me any other good advice. Thanks

Only the 1TB drive currently uses the 334GB platters (they haven't gotten around to filling in the lower capacities yet

)

So what are the 750GB drives using? I was thinking of buying the 750GB one but can't find any decent info on it!

the 750 has 4 platters, only the 1TB has 3 platters for now

Uh - The Samsung brand is the "F-1 Spinpoint" - the Seagate brand equivalent is the 7200.11...

he he. That's a pretty stupid mistake, and I didn't even realise until you pointed it out!

750GB is supposed to also be 3 platters, just with less capacity per platter than the 1TB.

At some point they'll have 640 and 320 models which will have 2 and 1 platter respectively. However, considering that they announced the F1 line back in June and are only now actually releasing any drives, I wouldn't get my hopes up.
