4K Advanced Format Hard Disks

Wow!

Incredible speeds, I'm staggered by those benchmarks! I often copy between two different file systems such as NTFS and EXT 4 and I doubt I'd get anywhere near whats illustrated in the image.

I don't necessarily need a lot of space, just speed and reliability. I know Hoola recently bought a removable network disc bay so he could mount and unmount hard drives externally which sounds very appealing.

Your games must fly with those hard drives, did you see any improvement in the FPS on any of your favourite games? I remember loading Morrowind and Oblivion used to take a long time especially when lots of mods were installed.

Speed is there, but it will depend on second drive from which you're backing up data. As for reliability, I've had chance to speak with main servicer from reseller company here and he said they didn't had any SpinPoint F4 reclamation ever since they've started selling them. Judging by comments on their site, they've sold lots of them.

There is slight FPS improvement, load times for everything are significantly decreased, and I'm no longer experiencing lags when moving very fast through large game levels (usually caused because GPU and RAM can't get data that fast from HDD).

I'm also considering getting 2 more in a few months and making 4x320GB RAID-0.
