Cheers, JD http://www.seagate.com/ca/en/products/enterprise-servers-storage/nearline-storage/enterprise-capacity-2-5-hdd/ I've had some bad experiences with Seagate (had to replace both 1TB drives in an Iomega NAS; luckily they were RAID1 and failed at different times).

Well, if you really want a fast 2TB laptop drive, you could get an SSD drive - they only cost about $3000 in that size :-). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I have been looking for 2TB 2.5, 7200RPM drive to no avail. There are 5400 rpm drives - but I found them considerably slower than 7200 RPM drives.

Cheers, JD http://www.seagate.com/ca/en/products/enterprise-servers-storage/nearline-storage/enterprise-capacity-2-5-hdd/ Thank you Frank. Searched Using your link, I also searched seagate for other models which would be more like 9mm depth so they will fit in a laptop. The ones in the link you provide are 15mm :) Will never fit in the laptop :( Unfortunately, Seagate itself does not seem to produce 9mm 2.5 7200 RPM 2TB drives. I found for example model STBD2000102 which is 8.8mm 2TB 2.5-inch but only 5400RPM. Ditto with the Seagate/Samsung model number ST2000LM003, which 9.5mm. Both have on-the-wire speeds of 6gbps. Must continue searching.

Must continue searching. Have you tried newegg.com? They have a handy set of filters on the left side once you get down into hard drives. I see some 9.5mm drives, but no 9mm drives (and none bigger than 1TB). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
