You can check the specs here

According to the Tom's harware review the E version is for servers and such that are up 24/7 and is not as fast
but i like the specs for the E in a laptop lower power and cooler running.

I did check the spec but the only different is that 100 and 200 ms thing at the bottom of the spec.

and I don't understand that. people are selling the 7k60 one though. so that one is faster than the e one? cause 7k60 also mentioned for work which means can be used for 24 hours too. I am confused...


more info please...

thanks

The "E" version is geared towards the server market, like Blade servers and such where 24/7 operation and availabity are key. It's the same drive made to higher tolerance standards.

 

[stingbandel]

so the performance wise, they are exactly the same?

 

[UltraWide]

yes, same performance, they are the same drive. The "E" version has a higher MTBF and they charge you more for it, it's not a consumer market drive.

ohh ic ic so both have same performance. ok now I am ready to buy one.

thanks
