Available internal HD 600gb + / 7200 RPM ?

No matter what brand I've searched, the existing ones are all out of stock or end of life.

What are the existing and available internal HD for laptops, 9.5mm height, 7200 RPM that have a minimum capacity of 600 GB ?

Thanks for your suggestions.

 

Newegg.com - SAMSUNG Spinpoint MP4 HM640JJ 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive

640 gig drive...just get a 500 gig seagate monumentus XT


Also use google shopping search it is by far the best price search engine out there.

 

Samsung Spinpoint 640GB 7200rpm:

In Stock.

 

I need more than 500... it's pretty strange about the Samsung:

On the specifications tab on Samsung site, it says it's only 500gb

And unfortunately, it's not available in NewEgg Canada ( http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152237)

Mistake or not?

 

Meh. I'm waiting to get a new hard drive too, but I would suggest holding off until Black Friday if you can. Cause I am. D

 

Mistake... It is a 640GB HD.

 

about about an external? do you have a eSATA or usb 3.0? or a card bus slot thingy ^^ forget what its called. you can add a card that has eSATA or usb 3.0. Than you cna get a 1-2TB external. I am archiving all my games and movies and i almost filled my 1TB external ^^ need a 2TB one now.

I see your in Canada so i am not sure who ships there but you can check

amazon.com
zipzoomfly.com
ecost.com
shopping.google.com (i think thats the right url)
newegg.com (obviously its out for the canda place)
NeweggMall.com (they sell somee electronics)
tigerdirect.com
bestbuy.com
walmart.com

*shrugs* there are more but thats all i use or can remember....you could try ebay but i dont trust them ^^

 

I want it internal for best performances. I currently have an external Western Digital, but I definitely want internal and at least 600gb / 7200 rpm. Price doesn't matter too.

 

side note...an external 3.5 inch hardrive is far faster....i assume you know that but throwing that out there. I got that for all my games ^^ it has a 133 read and 123MBps write ^^ For sequential of course.

 

If you're notice in my signature, I'm using the Samsung MP4 drive. Works quite nicely. I have it as my data/nedia drive, so performance wasn't the biggest factor.

 

don't go with externals their a gimmick. stick with what you have and get an ssd.

 

a gimmick? I love my external its eSATA far faster than my internals and was very cheap. SSD are still too expensive in my eyes...especially when i only make 20g a year :/ it would be 1 week or 2 week pay to get a fast solid reliable SSD :/

 

If someone know where it's available in Canada, it would be very appreciated!

 

did you check all those places i posted? they may deliver to you and may have it.

 

I don't think 3.5'' fits in mine ( ATIC Computers - Notebooks / Toshiba - PSAA9C-TA902C - Satellite A100-TA9)

 

And yes I've checked everywhere, either out of stock or not in stores.

 

Seagate's 750GB 7200rpm should be coming soon. But they've been saying that for three months.

Some benchmarks for the Sammy from a Newegg review:

SS=Samsung HM640JJ , SG=Seagate ST9640320AS 5400/640mb/2.5", WD=Western Digital WD1001 7200/3.5" desktop drive

sequential read/write mb/s
SS 112/106
SG 89/86
WD 111/109

Random 512kb read/write mb/s
SS 36/40
SG 35/41
WD 47/68

Random 4kb read/write mb/s
SS .910/.910
SG .815/.774
WD .766/1.711

Also consider ST9640320AS. It's very fast for a 5400rpm drive, coming close to Samsung HM640JJ performance.

 

save your money go with a HDD f3 and an enclosure. once that hdd dies its over. i had a 750gb seagate on the go and that died so much for all your files!

 

Check this one out:

Seagate Momentus ST9750420AS (ST9750420AS) Extended Specs - Internal Hard Drives

But they don't ship in Canada!

 

Wow someone orders this please!
