    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.
