Also the F1 currently has 3 x 334GB platters so why not stick 5 platters in a drive :/

At least that's what I think, but then I haven't owned a desktop in nearly 10 years. It is pretty clear however that the big manufacturers are putting more and more resources in the 2.5" form factor.

A high end desktop is good for? Gaming - a niche, but still way bigger than other applications for high end desktops + large HDs: Scientists, and professional video producers, maybe graphics designers and sound artists. ]]>Jun 19th 2008 1:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/Jun 18th 2008 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/Jun 18th 2008 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/Jun 18th 2008 10:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/Jun 18th 2008 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/Jun 18th 2008 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/

the 640gb samsung is out of stock alot of the time, they need to become a mass production company for hdds like wd and seagate as they cannot meet the demand.]]>Jun 18th 2008 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/and a 3.5 in SATA is not out of the question for say a gaming laptop or a "moble desktop", so are they putting that 1 TB drive in a 17 or 20 incher any time soon?
or does it use too much power?......]]>Jun 18th 2008 8:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/Jun 18th 2008 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/
Now I need a few more!]]>Jun 19th 2008 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/Jun 19th 2008 1:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/
Where can I buy it and when, that's what I want to know. I checked a few etailers, and, as expected, these are nowhere to be seen. ]]>Jun 19th 2008 1:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/Jun 19th 2008 2:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/
I was looking for the 500GB M6 2.5" laptop drive. The site you mentioned doesn't have it.]]>Jun 19th 2008 3:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/
But I wouldn't bother. That's about 40% more than it's worth at this point, looking at the price of 320GB drives.]]>Jun 19th 2008 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/]]>Jun 19th 2008 5:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/https://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=SM-HM500LI]]>Jun 19th 2008 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/18/samsung-trumpets-mass-production-of-spinpoint-mp2-m6-f1-hdds/
For less than half of the price of the M6, I got a sweet, compact USB-powered enclosure and a 320GB drive, totaling my drive space at 570GB.

320GB on-board is certainly enough until Samsung drops the price of the M6, or until some other company gets a 2.5" half-terabyte drive on the market at a reasonable price.

Side note: The drive I pulled out of the My Passport sells for $179 by itself in Best Buy, but the My Passport sold for $135 (or close to it). More stuff for a lower price! Yay!

My advice is to wait until the 500GB drives are cheaper. ]]>Jun 19th 2008 4:21PM
