Hi to everyone!
I shall offer you a dilemma, which, some of you, may have already faced.
What if you had to choose between:
1) Seagate Goflex Pro 500gb
- 7200rpm
- usb 3.0 or esata-p (esata powered)
2) Western Digital My Passport Elite 750gb
-5400rpm
-usb 3.0
Consider rpms, density of platter and different types of connections (usb 3 vs esata).
Question is:
Which combination offer theoretically better write throughput?
INFO:
I saw this graph:
http://www.wfu.edu/~yipcw/atg/seagate/goflex/
and was impressed by the performance of esata for 5400vs7200!
One thought to start up:
One major thing is: WHAT 2.5"HARD DISK THE MODULES INCLUDE!
[If Seagate uses a "Momentus 7200.4" and WD a "Scorpio Blue", based on this comparison:
http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2009-2.5-mobile-hard-drive-charts/h2benchw-3.12-Avg-Write-Throughput,1113.html
Momentus proves better, which added by common fact that esata performs better than usb3 (for the time being), a mix of Momentus with Esata would be great!]
