    Yeah. That's probably why they did not reveal the seek time for those drives (AFAIK).

    Because bigger number is always better to the general population :haha: They don't want to make their GP drives look "bad".

    I actually considered the 1TB... The black goes for $140 (RM 494). IMO, I would rather have 2 smaller drives 2x 640's for $150 US. ;)

    max, would you be able to provide some IOmeter test results?

    webserver, workstation, 8k database, and fileserver. max queue let it be at 8 (1-2-4-8). cycling option -> last second one. can't remember its exact name.

    am looking for total I/O, and average/max response time.

    only if you have the free time, of course!

    Sure, I will test it ASAP. Does it matter if the HDD is empty or not?
