nice price
If you like Green
Note that this is a 5400RPM drive, just like the Western Digital GreenPower drives.
If you'd like higher performance, there's a Hitachi 500GB hard drive(7200RPM) on sale for $45 at newegg right now.
i need a couple of these, or a few dozen
Even though it's only 5400 rpm, it's slightly faster than the Hitachi PK7500 drive a few ads above. I have both, the hitachi is too slow for ANY modern games. This one is far better in terms of sustained data rates
But then the rebate is offered by zzf, not samsung ...I would think twice before jumping in.
There is no longer a good reason to buy 350GB plattered hard drives, until they start making them with 10K RPM they aren't any faster on average than these newer generations of drives.
The Western Digital is an older slower design, you can no longer just compare RPM and assume anything. However, Western Digital tends to tweak firmware for higher IOPS not for max throughput, different drives for different purposes though we make a big stink about differences that aren't very much in reality, mostly someone anal about benchmarking is going to notice, not someone who just plugs a drive in and uses it as intended.
The real question is why bother with 500GB HDD today? If you are doing it to save a buck in building a cheap-ass system you are already conceding it's going to have lower performance from the other cost-cutting measures so it's a bit of a pointless argument. A drive may last several years on average, buy for your storage needs towards the end of it's lifespan, not your needs at the beginning.
