Comments on: Samsung Spinpoint M6: up to 500 GB in a 2.5-inch drive http://gigaom.com/mobile/samsung-spinpoi/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:10:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Luscious http://gigaom.com/mobile/samsung-spinpoi/#comment-369558 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 18:37:43 +0000 http://jkontherun.wordpress.com/2008/06/18/samsung-spinpoi#comment-369558

“Let’s see how long it takes before a commenter has one in an HP Mini…”

My thoughts exactly. 500GB storage in something that small would make for a fantastic portable AV device. That 2.5″ drive size with the HP is one of it’s biggest advantages. The Fujitsu P1620 cannot even come close in that respect.

I am totally with GoodThings2Life. Once you have used a laptop with a 7200RPM drive, it’s hard to go back…

5400RPM Drives = Blah.

7200RPM Drives = YAY!!

Which explains why I feel so confused by the 500GB 5400RPM drive. I love the large size, hate the slow performance.

Mind you the 250GB drive sounds great. :)
