1TB grouptest?

[downhiller80]

I know that 1TB doesn't make much sense from a $/GB point of view, but my current data drives total 750GB and are full. I'd rather have 1 drive from a heat/noise point of view, so am very tempted to get a 1TB. Though I appreciate the 250GB wont last me that long, so I might wait for 1.5 drives if they're around the corner.

So, has anyone seen a grouptest comparing the different 1TB drives yet?

750GB drives are $150 right now; might as well just get one of those. Then get a USB Harddrive dongle thingy for $27 shipped online and just keep the stack of harddrives in your drawer. Usually for movies I've ripped to the harddrive from my DVDs, it's not like I need instant access to them 24/7; so plugging in/out whenever you need it works out pretty well. My 500GB drive is uber fast too; so I imagine 750 would be a little faster.

Very wise advice I feel...

nevertheless, anyone got a grouptest?

You can try:
here, or here.
Maybe the are not group tests of just 1TB but they are there. Besides there's lots of useful info at the StorageReview and you can also compare drives using various benchmarks.
This site has also a lot to offer: Techreport with a few nice reviews of 1TB drives.
