As Benchmarks points out, the comparisons between the Seagate, Caviar Green and Caviar Black don't trend right. Even worse when comparing the values, the October 09 article looks like SSD specs FOR BOTH HDDs. What a mess!

The benchmark scores don't seem to add up here.

In the October issue, the Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB had benchmark speeds that match those listed in the November issue for the Patriot Torx 128GB SSD. Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB has benchmark scores that are lower than the WD Caviar Green 2TB in the October issue comparison.

Patriot Torx 128GB October Issue (205.4, 175.1, 0.11, 0.31, 674, and 21,247)

WD Caviar Green 2TB October Issue (175.1, 150.1, 0.16, 0.12, 945, 14,088)

WD Caviar Black 2TB November Issue (112.3, 112.2, 7.6, 5.0, 213.7, 6,452)

Whats's the point of the benchmarks if they are wrong? Not to mention that no one caught this mistake?

Can any of you imagine a 2TB HDD with sustained transfers of 205 and 175?

     Consider the following when you wonder why this drive does not have a 10.

1. The original 150gb velociraptor only achieved a 9 kick ass rating.

2. The unrevised 300gb velociraptor only achieved a 8 without a kick ass rating.

3. 10 is usualy reserved for the best of the best, so in theory, had it beaten out the velociraptor in random access times it would probably have attained a 10 perfect score the key word here is PERFECT.

keep up the good work guys... JACob

NewEgg sells the enterprise/raid RE4-GP version there WD2002FYPS there http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136365

But the  WD2003FYPS is not on their catalog yet.

The regular black caviar is there: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136456&cm_re=WD2001FASS-_-22-136-456-_-Product but is deactived.

 It would be nice if the article mentioned which one they are talking about (Caviar Black $ or RE4-GP $+ or RE4 $++ ?)

According to the picture, the WD2001FASS?

Thanks for the info..

 

it appears that this will take a while to be available on newegg, so I will just install W7 on a regular drive for now (what's a good cloner app for later?)

avatar

domih2009

I don't know. If I have to clone drives (same size) I simply use "dd" (UNIX). Otherwise, I install from scratch. Otherwise, MPC likes http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm is I correcly recollect.

A new harddrive with another .5 terabytes is released every week, at some point it has to be considered unprofound that a company releases a new one.  The very fact of the matter is they could probably make HD's with 20 terabytes and 10k+ RPM but they don't because incremental speed/capacity increases net more money because of yokals who buy these things everytime they come out for the extra .5 TB space.

Of course I am speaking without facts, maybe they really do labor over getting that extra .5 TB into the drive EVERYTIME a new one is released.  Maybe they throw a huge party at the company,WE GOT ANOTHER .5TB INTO OUR DRIVE, PARTY AT 7.

It all seems reminiscent of how how Iraq has better Cell technology than America because the decision to improve networks wasn't made by a coorporation (Profit driven) but rather a military tyrant (Death to america driven)

I saw this advertised on Newegg yesterday, and I jumped over here to see what was the current favorite drive in Best of the Best...and it was the same. I didn't see the review yet but you were fast to get it out.

I currently have a Raptor (love the speed!) but the 67GB of converted movies (I'm not even half done with my DVD collection) is drying my drive up. I wanted performance AND capacity especially since most of my movies are around 2GB a peice and I load games like Unreal 3 and L4D. My DSL connection is my PING downfall, but I'm still the first one on the map 98% of the time.

Being bound to the SATA I spec isn't easy with a SATA II mobo, though most of the time the pipeline is enough for what I do but I didn't want to go backwards in speed. I also wanted it as my primary drive, not a secondary like my 250GB WD for video editing. Thanks Max PC for the great review. I'll wait a couple of months and buy it when it drops down to around $200. I'll install my full copy of Windows 7 then since the RC is still good.

Appreciate the excellent review.
