Samsung EcoGreen F4 2TB Review: High Performance on 5400 RPM

PCMark 7

When tested using PCMark 7, Samsung EcoGreen indeed was behind the benchmark one.

Transfer Test

In the real-world performance, this  hard disk is able to compete with other low-powered hard disks on the market. Slightly lower performance can be seen from the transfer of small files to the HDD.

Conclusion

Competition in the market of low-powered hard disk will increasingly heated by the presence of Samsung EcoGreenF4.  5400 RPM of Rotary speed makes your hard disk working at a lower temperature (at least that’s what we found when testing time). In addition, the performance result of the hard disk turned out pretty good, it can even be a threat to its competitors.

Speaking of performance, this hard disk is fast on all factors except one thing, random write. Sequential performance that it had even close to the speed of a fast class hard disk. This makes Samsung EcoGreen F4 is very suitable to be your data hard disk.

Because of suitable for being data hard disk, of course, it can be used for any kind of needs, from home to office needs. You’re the ones who using the NAS, can get benefit from high performance and low enough temperature. However, for the needs of the use in running operating system, although its performance is qualified, you should use a hard disk of a higher class.

Good Points:

+ High sequential performance on 5400 RPM.
+ The Temperature is not too hot

Weakness:

– Random performance is slightly below its competitors.
