Anyone thinking about buying a HDD, do not get the new Seagate 7200.11 Series yet. Very fast drives but they must have a bad batch because this is the 2nd one i have had to RMA to newegg, along with many others. I have one thats working perfectly but cant seem to get another that works correctly. I resorted to using my Raptor i had laying around, it just pisses me off to have to keep sending these back. Velociraptor is an option but they are still $1 per gig. Ohh well im just going to order 2 Samsung Spinpoint F1 drives and be done with this seagate mess.
Rant done!

I dont see how that can be faster than the raptor anyway. Those things are some of the fastest HDs out there. Despite being smaller in capacity than the 7200rpm drives, they are better. But really, if you need more than 160gb, just pick up a western digital external HD.

sorry man do some reading, the raptors arent the fastest out there anymore, even the velociraptor is cutting it close at sata2, the original raptors are only sata 150 also.
Bigger cache, NCQ, perp. Recording at 7200 rpm=faster than a raptor at 10k rpm
Read here, great article [Samsung Spinpoint F1 HDDs: New Winners? | Tom's Hardware](http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/samsung-overtakes-a-bang,1730.html)
as you can see the raptor isnt that great compared to the newer drives out there.

Haha, we just got a ton of 7200.11 drives in. Hopefully the same won’t hold true here.

Sucks to hear. I’ve had awesome luck with my 7200.10 320’s (had them running 24/7 pretty much since black friday 07) and the 1TB 7200.11
Hopefully this next on will be better.
Quick queston: Did you buy an OEM or retail one? i’ve never had good luck with newegg’s oem products, i only buy retail now.

oem, the 7200.11 series just came out, not the same as the 7200.10’s
and it seems to be only the 7200.11 320 gigs that are fucking doa.

I gave up on buying harddrives…I decided to just store everything on the SAN at work.
