Samsung SpinPoint drives have always given me difficulty. I think of all the ones I've worked with, just under half have failed. This seems like a decent price, though.

Naah... A bit more and you can get at least a 750GB with 32MB Cache. However Spinpoints are supposed to be the quietest drives on the planet.

Good price, but I've also had my difficulties with Samsung drives.

#1, it does not work so well if the T Series HD501LJ has been partitioned.
damn, HDs nowadays are cheap.

My samsung HD was dead after being used for after two years. Since then, I loose all my confidence with samsung.
