My Samsung F3 drives "HD103SJ" 1TB Model with 1AJ100E4 Firmware, doesn't work with the intel s-ATA controller, but works on the Marvell Controller. It's a sataII 3gb sata 6gb problem fixed with either a firmware update on the Harddrive or "might be fixed" with a bios update z87x-UD5H. Am on...

I have four F3 drives and AAM disabled, silent.

Yes were splitting hairs here, so at the risk of wasting money on "no significant performance" gains go for the option of 2x 1TB F3.

I post, then you post, i replay back, And then you don't understand.

Well its interesting your only getting to understand fizzle-187 question from the start now, he was trying to work out which array would be faster the 2x F3 500GB or 2x F3 1TB. there you go again, why do you think he is for binning this WD Caviar black drive now, that would be a mistake to...

I just checked there the F3 1TB is the fastest 1TB drive on the market, it has 32MB cache weres the F3 500GB drive has 16MB cache, i would get the 1TB but thats my choice and am happy with it, since thats what am using already, so am biased. No they aren't noisy drives at all the AAM is set...

OP is looking for "performance and speed" not a money saving solution to sort out his WD Caviar black drive.

Once you have picked a external harddrive it just a matter of sharing the drive on one of the computers when you do plug it in and as long has the other computer has wireless/cabled lan set up. Just depends how much money you want to fire in to backing up your data, the western digital my...

At the price does it make that big of difference, i went for 2x 1TB in raid array with the F3's and this was needed for torrents, so each to their own.

this is very true, a perfect opportunity for hitman to work out! :) and prove me wrong!

This is probably overkill but "if" you were statically charged at the time then you might damage the modules, thats the reason why you shouldn't touch the metal contacts. If you have any isopropyl alcohol around you could clean the contacts again. thats my 2 cents! **edit, just noticed...

I have the F3 1TB drives and there is options with the EStool.exe to have select Automatic acoustic management (AAM), even had FASTEST mode the drives are quiet, the drives (AAM) are selected [disabled] by default, other settings, quiet, fast, fastest, disabled, to which is the default setting...

Yeah it happens to the best of us m8, switching to AHCI mode is what i have on it supports capabilities (such as hot-plugging and native command queuing). Also just to add i recently found an option on the nvidia 790i motherboard to enable or disable a reset to clear the configuration data in...

What does the bios read for your raid array on boot up is it working? It should say if it is functional or non-functional. I know there was no need to unplug anything other than your raptor on your motherboard at the time, but you might have let another cable come out of the sata port? If...

When 2TB SSD are around i expect 256GB to be for £75

Raid Single Am on win 7 and i cant seem to load the Hitachi Feature Tool dos files on to the diskette.

True it was late at night, i'll chek these programs later and the IDE

If the drive isn't locking up your computer and there is no ticking noise from your drive and it's showing up in the bios (properly), all this after 24 hours, then its like another working drive, working until it breaks. If your so worried then invest in a external drive that you only put on...
