Acquisto Hd 2Tb senza grandi problemi...

[raxas]

Salve
grazie per le risposte, comunque non ancora scelto,

inoltre mi si è presentato, come convenienza di prezzo quantomeno, questo modello dell'hitachi

HDS5C3020ALA632 - 2TB Sata3 Green32mb

http://www.hitachigst.com/search?q=H...no_dtd&x=0&y=0

http://www.hitachigst.com/internal-d...eskstar-5k3000

in molti siti http://www.google.it/#sclient=psy&hl...8cb6a6164b4880

testano l'hd e trovano negativo il tempo di accesso HDS5C3020ALA632, spero che sia solo una cosa valutabile da grafico da puristi o entusiasti...

poi ho trovato questa pagina
http://www.salvagedata.com/hard-driv...s5c3020ala632/
ovvero salvataggio dati dal disco precedente...
non ho capito se si tratta di prova, presentazione delle -eventuali-procedure in caso di guasto o se sia un problema -ricorrente- del disco in oggetto

mi chiedo inoltre se si prevede di mettere un sensore geiger nei prossimi hard disk che proveniendo dal giappone vorrei essere sicuro che non ci siano radiazioni...

riguardo all'allineamento cluster 512byte -> 4k (?) per il Samsung HD204UI ho trovato (nel sito Samsung) la pagina per il download del tool Acronis per i loro dischi Samsung (che funzionerebbe anche per dischi non Samsung... tool della Acronis (47mb))
Acronis Align-tool Samsung

infine ho preso un Seagate ST2000DL003, 5900rpm 64mb sata3 che ha settori 4k

Seagate http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.js...001a48090aRCRD

indica che per i settori 4K ha una soluzione a livello hardware, nativa, senza necessità di tool, offrendo supporto per l'Advanced Format con la tecnologia Smart Align
http://www.tweaktown.com/news/15684/...s_s/index.html

l'hd è per ora su una scheda con interfaccia sata2 e xp professional
e dovrebbe adeguarsi al sata3 edit: errore, dovevo scrivere sata2...del controller (quante cose da starci attenti...*)

se metto windows7 64bit mi chiedo se le prestazioni rimarranno invariate... SmartAlign dovrebbe essere trasparente per la lettura dei file sia su xp che su win7... presumo...

(*più che un hobby o necessità il pc sta diventando un' lavoro... un lavoraccio )
