Assumption 1: F4 beats SSDThis review shows that the Samsung F4 is actually slower than a WD Black in most cases:

How you guys can have the audacity to say that these drives perform on par with an SSD is beyond me.
Benchmarks don't mean a thing and their so inconsistent with different scores everytime.
That's ok, some people are just too ignorant to comprehend plain English; and like I said, read only what they want to read and ignore everything else. So it's pointless.Go easy on computer ,,, thanks.
HA! That's hilarious.
I've avoided this thread for weeks when I check the forum, but just tonight decided to read through it to see why it was so active. What a waste of nearly an hour...Computer, no need to take offense. I wasn't implying that you were doing the "sugar coating".
I don't need to prove anything. Just wanted to add my two cents whether it's worth anything or not. I've been a member almost as long as you have and as you can see I don't post much. With that said, you can imagine how annoyed I am at reading this whole thread to actually post in it.
In the future I'll just avoid certain threads.
Could you explain why a benchmark gives different score every time? Has it been designed to do so? For what purpose? Is it only the synthetic marks that return whimsical noise? Is there no measure that one could trust?You are correct Soundmanred totally right. Synthetic benchmarks mean nothing cuz they give different score everytime... your right,,,
But Safe Mode is still lazy when one can have a test platform where the only thing accessing the tested drive is the benchmark. Small variation in results is expectable, as for all empirical experiments. However, measurement errors should be small compared to differences between genuinely different samples. If not, your testing procedure is flawed.This is why people run benchmarks in Safe Mode , so nothing is loaded and no IO activity is going on. Still due to the fact of caching and other properties your never going to get the same score. Its just like that for hard drives.
An SSD has no platters.A WD Black is more platters thus slower, and more prone to break down.
That's ok, some people are just too ignorant to comprehend plain English; and like I said, read only what they want to read and ignore everything else. So it's pointless.
If certain people would READ ALL of what I have typed countless times, they would see no such things were ever said. So it's pointless.
It's pathetic how childish, hostile and attacking some people are at forums. Really makes you wonder about their "stability". I suggest they try again to read my posts on page 8, particularly #192 & #193. But again, it's useless and pointless--to try and have an intelligent civil friendly conversation with them. They are closed-narrow-minded, plagued by the spawn of hostile comments, and see & hear only what they selectively discriminately choose to see. I'm glad I'm......we're, above that.
God Bless all.
What is "DAW" anyway and why it "has to be" on the primary drive?
Ok, so from what I read, people that have Windows boot up disorder and reboot 20 times a day need to get a SSD other then that , who cares how long a boot up takes. I do it once a day or dont do it for weeks on end... everything is already in RAM OS is in RAM,
now you have no space for your data ,,,, so apps and data will still be hard drive mechanical my friend. Computer Ill let you take it from here. If you care about boot up times then buy a SSD, if you dont care about boot up times its a waiste of money for cheap ammount of space 160GB come on now child, common like Ochosinko would say.
Your games will be installed on mechnical if you have a big collection like freakin 13 games that are avg 7gb each ,, did you put that on your 160G3 no you didnt,, pointless for me especially that I run a DAW... I need everything installed on primary drive and I got GB of DAW sh*T . and I point data to my 320GB WDC SE.
Come now, when ssds are like RAM, then I will pull the trigger other then that Im happy to have the worlds fastest 7200RPM single platter F4 320GB ... pownz,,,and I put a W7 image on external LaCie 500GB Neil Poulton design ... thank you very much!,,,, Im happy you happy we all happy now!!!!!!!!! computer you rock
