I was genuinely surprised to see this how well this drive behaved, it really has sweep the floor with the other drives, including Raptors in non-server patterns.

Ya, no kidding. Although I'm not sure if it makes too much difference in a HD test.
Regardless, those are some pretty impressive numbers samsung is turning out.
However, I won't be buying a TB HD in the near future... too much data to be lost in the event of a failure.

HD Tach benches look nice. Noise level & power consumption look great. Not good as a server drive but that doesn't concern someone like me. I just might pick one up if the price is right.

Werd. Still looks good, though I'd like to see a more modern test rig.

It mentions the 7200.11 platters are 250Gb each so being a 1Tb drive they use in the test, it would be 4 platters.

I've got this exact drive, and the most notable thing about it is that it is almost impossible to hear, even while seeking. I have to put my ear within half a foot of it to hear it, and even then I'm straining pretty hard.

I read from several (although many times unreliable) newegg reviews that Samsung's own software sometimes detects errors even though there aren't any. They're supposedly working on an update.

I guess any Raid-0 of 7200 rpm HDDs made of disks released the last 2 years beats a Raptor in everything except seek times, but then again some of the users need mostly fast seek times... You need to see what kind of work you do to see if you need a Raid-0 array or a Raptor, but this an endless discussion
