August 31, 201015 yr SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive $59.99 after promo code EMCYWPZ27 (expires 09/06/2010) I believe these are the fastest 7200 rpm drives on the market right now (is that right WeeboTech?). Would make a good parity or cache drive.

Would make a good parity or cache drive. Fastest in Reads for 1TB. Writes 80MB/s, Reads 150MB/s At least by my benchmarks. In comparison the Seagate 1.5TB 7200RPMs get 110-120MB/s for reads/writes on the outer track but slow down to around 80 on the inner tracks.
August 31, 201015 yr I can confirm they are indeed quick drives, been using both the earlier UJ and the later SJ drives both are very fast drives.
