**MIG-31** · Nov 12, 2009, 07:55 PM

Ever wanted a guide on hard drive performance, where you can compare the performance of a wide range of hard drives? Well, we are not quite there yet, but that is our ultimate objective.

In this performance comparison guide, we will test and compare the performance of all the hard drives we can get our hands on. This is similar to what we are doing in the Intel Core 2 Processor Performance Comparison Guide.

Here are the latest updates in Revision 3.2 :

- Added the 1 GB Samsung Spinpoint F1 (HD103UJ) desktop hard disk drive.
- Added the 320 GB Western Digital Scorpio Black mobile hard disk drive.

Spinpoint F1 FTW! its a great drive, silent and 10c cooler than the seagate 320gb right next to it.
