4 of these puppies should cover my snapping requirements for 2009....those 5D MK2 files are huge, not to mention the HD video files. Now, if I only had a PC that could process the files :)
That is a fast review, this drive was announced less than 10 hours ago. :) I wonder how do this drive compare to 2 RAID0'ed 1TB drives in terms of price and speed. And which in real world is the better choice.
Damn, i am visiting this site for more than 2 years now, and until today i thought that "price" and "as reviewed" (on top of every review) was separate informations, and isn't meant to be read together. I thought then, that price is actual value in the day of reading, and "as reviewed" was the value shown during the review. One question kept occuring to me - why the hell is one price w/o vat and the other is with vat.
Bah, darned colloquialisms creeping into my writing. Well spotted.
@Randy
The performance of two RAID0 1TB drives will almost certainly outstrip that of a single 2TB drive. It's not something I'd consider doing, though, due to the increased risk of complete data loss, extra power output, and the fact I'd get better performance (in day to day activities) by buying a faster hard drive in the first place.
Can anyone explain the anomaly in the Vista startup and shutdown graph. In even other test the WD 2TB bests the Hitachi 1TB, but in the shutdown test it's nearly twice as slow. I'm sure there must be a reason for this?
Part of the explanation is I put in the wrong number in the graph - fixed now. As for why it's still a second or so slower, it could easily be margin of error as all the figures are so close in this test.
