Hitachi Deskstar 2TB

[Mario]

Yesterday I purchased a Hitachi Deskstar 2TB (http://www.hitachigst.com/internal-drives/desktop/deskstar/deskstar-7k2000) hard disk. I am very happy with it, as I still am with my 1TB Hitachi drive purchased in 2007. This hard drive is the fastest one I have today, beating even the mighty Raptor. My plan is to replace the Raptor sometime in late 2009 or early 2010 with a solid state drive. Further, I am still to rectify the ultra DMA issue I have, which is that I'm only using UDMA-5 instead of the faster UDMA-6. (Update: The UDMA issue was rectified after having finally switched to using AHCI mode in the BIOS - something I've been putting off for a while.)
