ST2000DL003 Compatibility?
Being a RNP user that is running out of space, I'm wanting to purchase new drives. I'm interested in using the Seagate ST2000DL003 2TB drives. These drives are not currently listed on the compatib...
This is true, however when comparing the sustained write performance between the ST2000DL003 and the ST32000542AS units there is a difference of 49MB/s, that will be noticeable.
ST2000DL003 = 144MB/s
ST32000542AS = 95MB/s
If it was just for pure capacity, the older 512b sector drive would be fine.
My take on this is, Seagate will phase out the older 512b ST32000542AS drive and replace it with the ST2000DL003 drive.
As for 7200 RPM vs 5900 RPM performance, the ST2000DL003 actually has better sustained write performance than does the ST32ST32000641AS
ST32000641AS = 138MB/s
ST2000DL003 = 144MB/s
Right now the there is only approx. $20 price difference between the two LP drives. (not including shipping)_
