Märkused:

• MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) on statistilis-teoreetiline töökindluse näitaja, miljonites tundides. Avaldatakse peamiselt vaid enterprise ehk professionaalidele mõeldud seeriatel. Neil laiatarbeseeriatel, millel siin tabelis MTBF number puudub, on see tavaliselt 0.2-0.7 vahemikus.
• Maxtoril on enamusel seeriatest lisaks olemas ka "Versions of drive that conform with the requirements of the European Union Directive in Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)". Nende tähistus on näiteks 6L300S0 (tavamudeli 6B300S0 analoog).
• Seagate tüübitähises märgib platterite arvu "p" ehk paremalt lugedes 2.number. Cache mahtu märgib paremalt lugedes 3.number (0=2..8MB, 2=2MB, 8=8MB, 6=16MB).
• WesternDigital SATA2 seeriate kettad, millel on tabelis ! märk, kannavad SATA ketaste tüübitähist (vastav tähis on märgitud ! järel). Põhjus: WesternDigital vahetas detsembris 2005 osade seniste SATA ketaste elektroonika SATA2 elektroonika vastu, kuid ei muutnud tüübitähist (Näide: NOV.2005 toodetud WD800JD on SATA, kuid JAN.2006 toodetud WD800JD on SATA2).
• Tähisega ### märgitud mudelite tootmine on lõpetatud; Tähisega ??? märgitud mudeleid toodetakse OEM eritellimusel, väikepartiidena või ajutiselt.

NB! Viimased review'd on mitu aastat vanad, vahepeal võib olla samu mudeleid (kui neid veel toodetakse) uuendatud-parendatud!

Soovitused kõvaketta valimiseks (3,5" ATA/SATA 7200rpm)

Maht

• Tänapäeva kvaliteetsemate ketaste suurused on 80/160/250/320/400/500GB
• Seagate 7200.9/10 kvaliteetsemate ketaste suurused on 160/320/500/750GB
• Ei soovita 40GB (need on nuditud 80GB), vali parem 80GB (2x maht,+100 kr)
• Ei soovita 120GB (need on nuditud 160GB), vali parem 160GB või siis 80GB
• Ei soovita 200GB (need on nuditud 250GB), erandina on sobiv Seagate 200GB
• WD puhul ei soovita 300GB (need on nuditud 320GB), vali parem WD 320GB
• Mistahes kõvaketta tegelik binaarne maht tuleb 93,13% (näit.320GB=298GiB)
• Kõige soodsama hinnaga 1GB kohta on hetkel (5/2006) 250/300/320GB kettad

Kiirus

• Hitachi on kõige kiirema seek'iga 7200rpm IDE ketas, sobib boot-kettaks
• Hitachi 160GB,250GB puhul eelista seeriat T7K250 (T=Turbo), mitte 7K250
• Samsung puhul eelista seeria P120 250GB mudelit (200GB,300GB on aeglased)
• Seagate 7200.8 ja 7200.9 (v.a. 7200.9 160GB SATA) on aeglase seek'iga
• Suurema mahuga High-Density platterid annavad kiirema järjestlugemise
• Kõige kiirema järjestlugemisega on Seagate 7200.9(160GB), 7200.10(320GB)
• Kiire järjestlugemine on kasulik suurte failide puhul (video, masteraudio)
• Reaalselt ei saavuta testide kiirusi (väiksed failid, fragmenteerumine)

Jahedus ja Vaikus

• WD 3200xx, xxxxKS, xxxxJS seeriad ning uuem Samsung on jahedad ja vaiksed
• Samsung on vaikne, kuid suurema mahuga kettad võivad tugevalt vibreerida
• Seagate enamus kettaid on samuti vaiksed, kuid SATA krõbistab seek'imisel
• Seagate on kuumem (v.a. 7200.9 40..160GB), kuid talub seda ka jahutuseta
• Maxtor DiamondMax 7,8,9 seeriad on liiga kuumad ja enamasti ka lärmakad
• Hitachi 400GB, 500GB puudus on palju päid ja plattereid (kuum, kapriisne)
• Mida vähem plattereid kettas on, seda jahedam, vaiksem, töökindlam ta on

Töökindlus

• Seagate NL35 (NearLine) seeria on suurendatud "enterprise" töökindlusega
• WD SB/SD/SS/YD/YS/YR on "enterprise" töökindlusega ja RAID-optimeeritud
• Enterprise mudelite peamine erinevus on väljavalitud paremad eksemplarid
• RAID mudelite täiendav erinevus on RAID'ile optimeeritud firmware (TLER)
• RAID mudeleid ei ole soovitav kasutada üksiku kettana, kuid siiski võib
• Enterprise ja RAID ketastel on reeglina 5a garantii (laiatarbe 3a asemel)
• Seagate annab 5a garantii kõigile oma toodetele, k.a. laiatarbeseeriatele
• Väldi Seagate 7200.8 seeriat, ajutiselt ka 7200.9 seeria 300GB mudeleid
• Väldi Maxtor DiamondMax 7,8,9 seeriaid, WD vanemat toodangut (enne 2005)
• Maxtori uute MaXLineIII/DiamondMax10 seeriate töökindlus on ka kahtlane
• Maxtori puhul eelista MaXLine Pro/III seeriaid, teisena DiamondMax 11/10
• Samsung puhul eelista P120 seeria 250GB mudelit; P80 kvaliteet on kõikuv
• WD 3200xx seeria kettad on tõestatult töökindlad ja heade parameetritega
• Excelstor on low-end bränd, võrreldavat kvaliteeti ei saagi temalt nõuda

Puhver

• Valida tuleks 8MB või 16MB puhvriga mudelite hulgast. 2MB on eilne päev
• 16MB puhver pole tingimata oluline, selle paremus 8MB puhvrist on tühine
• NCQ reaalne efekt on ühekasutaja arvutis (koduarvutis) jõudlust pidurdav
• NCQ lisab jõudlust 5...20% vaid suure koormusega mitmekasutaja serverites
• NCQ funktsioon toimib vaid koos seda toetava emaplaadi või kontrolleriga

Liides

• SATA ketaste peamine eelis ATA ees on peenike kaabel ja omaette datakanal
• SATA ei anna kiirusevõitu ATA/IDE suhtes, kuid SATA kettad on kaasaegsemad
• SATA2 ei anna kiirusevõitu SATA suhtes, kuid SATA2 kettad on kaasaegsemad
• SATA2 võimaldab hotswap ja staggered-spinup (kuid mitte kõik SATA2 kettad)
• Välise karbi jaoks tuleb valida kõige jahedamad kettamudelid, soovitav ATA

Toide

• Kõvaketas võtab käivitamisel lühiajaliselt 1,2...2,8A voolu +12V toitest!
• Suurima käivitusvooluga on Seagate 7200.8/NL35, väikseimaga Hitachi ja WD
• SATA võtab võrreldes ATA'ga 100...250mA rohkem +5V (kogulisa 1W ehk 10%)
• Tööolukorras tarbivad tänapäeva ATA/SATA kettad 7...15 W (+5V,+12V kokku)

KOKKUVÕTE

• Ühe kettamudeli eksemplarid võivad erineda rohkem kui kahe tootja kettad!
• Pole olemas absoluutselt üheselt parimate kõikide omadustega kõvaketast!
• Pole olemas absoluutselt töökindlat kettamudelit, igaüks võib rikki minna!
• Parimat? WD3200KS/JS/JD/JB,4000KD,5000KS,7K500,T7K250,7200.10,7200.9,P120
• ProLine? WD3200YS/YD/SD/SB,4000YR,1500ADFD,740ADFD,NL35.2,MaXLineIII/Pro

• Universaalselt parim... WD3200KS(320GB), HITACHI-T7K250(250/160GB), SEAGATE-7200.9(80/160GB)
• Kontoriarvutis parim... SEAGATE-7200.9(80/160GB), WD800JB/JD(80GB), WD2500KS(250GB), 7K80(80GB)
• Arvutimängudes parim... HITACHI-7K500(500GB), WD1500ADFD/AHFD;WD740ADFD/AHFD(WDRaptor150/74GB)
• Videotöötluses parim... WD4000KD(400GB), WD1500ADFD/AHFD(WDRaptor150GB), HITACHI-7K500(500GB)
• Kiire... HITACHI-T7K250(250GB), WD4000KD(400GB), SEAGATE-7200.9(160GB), MAXTOR-7V300F0(300GB)
• Vaikne... SAMSUNG-P120(250GB)/PL40(40GB), SEAGATE-7200.9-ATA(160GB), WD3200JB/JD/JS/KS(320GB)
• Jahe=Välises karbis parim... SEAGATE-7200.9(160/80GB), HITACHI-T7K250(250GB), WD3200JB(320GB)
• Streaming-serveris parim... SEAGATE-7200.9(500/400/250GB), WD4000KD(400GB), WD3200JB/JD(320GB)
• Suure koormusega serveris parim... MAXTOR-ATLAS(SCSI), FUJITSU-MAU(SCSI), HITACHI-7K400(400GB)
• RAID'is parim... WD4000YR(400GB), WD3200YS/YD/SD/SB(320GB), WD2500YD(250GB), WD1600YD(160GB)
• Töökindel... SEAGATE-NL35.2(250/400/500GB), SEAGATE-7200.7, SAMSUNG-P120(250GB), WD3200(320GB)

Tegelik maht võib olla tehtud veidi suurem (ca. 25 MB iga 100 GB kohta). Täpse mahu väljendab konkreetse ketta labelile trükitud LBA number (512-baidiste kasutajasektorite arv).

• Praktiline kasutusnäide:
  • HDD 500 GB = 200000/570000 digitaalfotot (resolutsiooniga 5 megapix / 2 megapix)
  • HDD 500 GB = 15000/150000 muusikapala (keskmise pikkusega 3:10) wav/mp3-formaadis
  • HDD 500 GB = 1000 muusika-CD plaati (keskmise pikkusega 47 minutit) wav-formaadis
  • HDD 500 GB = 50...500+ tundi digitaalvideot (oleneb resolutsioonist ja pakkimisest)

Garantii

Kehtib tootmises olevate 3,5" 7200rpm kettaseeriate puhul, vanadega on midaiganes muudmoodi, ka 2,5" ja väliste kettakarpidega võib teistmoodi olla (välistel on tavaliselt 1a); Samuti on kõik SCSI kettad tavaliselt 5a garantiiga igal tootjal; Eesti edasimüüjad võivad aga üldse piirduda 1a garantiiga.

• SEAGATE'i garantii: 5a
• WD garantii: 5a (Caviar RE, Raptor); 3a (Caviar SE), alates 18.07.2005, osalt ka varem.
• HITACHI garantii: 3a, alates 25.04.2005
• SAMSUNG'i garantii: 3a
• MAXTOR'i garantii: 5a (MaXLine); 3a (DiamondMax), alates 12.09.2004
• EXCELSTOR'i garantii: 3a

Tehasegarantii arvestatakse tavaliselt ketta tehasest hulgimüüjale saatmise kuupäevast, mitte ketta valmistamise kuupäevast (aga võib olla ka teisiti).
