Please add "Frys B&M" to the title so people know what retailer you're referring to.
posted: Apr. 12, 2009 @ 8:57a

Please not, it's SATA, not ATA. Frys is wrong on their description.

Anyone know about reliability on these drives vs the Western Digital Black or Green? How long is the warranty? Here is a comparison versus the Western Digital HDs and a SCSI 15k drive:
http://www.storagereview.com/php/benchmark/suite_v4.php?typeID=10&testbedID=4&osID=6&raidconfigID=1&numDrives=1&devID_0=369&devID_1=368&devID_2=348&devID_3=371&devID_4=272&devCnt=5

I put the E7K1000 and I believe this is deal is only on the 7K1000. I'm not sure if the 7K1000 is the same as the 7K1000.B

7K1000.B looks to be the newer 3-platter design instead of the heat-mongrel 5-platter

Remember to tack on $8-9 tax since this is B&M only. Would've greened OP if the title was more accurate.

Thanks. Linked for your benefit. Seems like this drive is more in line with the E7K1000 model. The E7K1000 model has 5 yr warranty and 120k hr mtbf. What are the 7K1000.B's warranty and MTBF? I tried the data sheet and their website but didn't find that info. http://www.hitachigst.com/portal/site/en/products/deskstar/7K1000.B/

clearly you don't know what you are talking about.
ATA = Advanced Technology Attachment: is the interface standard for storage devices.

The old ATA is called Parallel ATA or IDE. Based on the transfer rate, it can be labeled as ATA/33 up to ATA/133.

The newer ATA is SATA or Serial ATA. The transfer rate is labeled as ATA/150 (SATA I) or ATA/300 (SATA II).

So the description as well as the topic title is very accurate.

No, clearly YOU don't know what you're talking about. The thread title implies this is the older-technology IDE drives which it isn't .

all it says is ata/300. if it was pata, that'll be more understandable but it doesn't.

now.. what kind of ata drives have a transfer rate of 300 mb/s anyway? surely not pata.

You are wrong, it is not "incorrect". But it can be somewhat confusing if you quickly read it. It is a ATA hard drive, he is just not giving the detail whether it is Parallel (P) or Serial (S).

Replace ATA with SATA will make it correct.Your reference is incorrect because I was referring to ctapnep's reference to Fry's description, not to your reference to the title of this thread. So you owe me an apology, which would best be expressed by sending $5 to my Paypal account. Thank you.

I have 1TB hitachi drive not sure about heating issues because its used as an aux drive and only starts up when being accessed. So far is been good to me..I cloned one of my HDD that had around 400gigs of data on it and it didnt give me a hiccup.

I want to pick up another 1TB for my future HTPC but I'm pretty sure it'll keep going down in price...so I'll just wait for when I build it
posted: Apr. 13, 2009 @ 4:42p

Is it the same drive as this one? The price seems the same ($80 ar Fry's and $79.99 at Newegg).
posted: Apr. 13, 2009 @ 7:07p

I almost got one, but it is a bare drive (intended for service replacements I suppose)with only 1YR warranty not 3YR as is stated on FRY'S website for the same part number.

I also went to get this drive and saw that it was a 16mb cache and 1 year warranty, so I did not get it. It isn't the 7K1000.B I was replying about earlier.
