Overall: I was not able to install it. I had to use Samsung Software to create the partition and they were not acceptable for Windows Me Installation SoftwareSamsung Customer Support only works from 8 am to 5 pm and you have to wait for about 20 minutes

Strengths: Large Capacity, 8 MB buffer, high 7200 RPM
Weaknesses: not the fastest or biggest drive out there
Overall: Great Buy, Extra buffer, higher spin rate and 40 GB more than comparably priced drives. It is definately a recommended product. I purchased from New Egg and would highly reccommend this drive to anyone looking to upgrade. A great "Bang for the Buck!!!"

Strengths: great price and extremely quiet
Overall: I would have liked if Samsung provided software to assist with transfering data from old hard drive to new one. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase.

Strengths: Can't comment
Weaknesses: Had problem with intermittant lockups, got increasingly worse.
Overall: I've had good luck with other Samsung products; but it's too early to tell since I had a bad drive from the start. I wasn't happy with the extra effort I had to spend getting an RMA.

Strengths: Fast, not as fast as a raptor, but fast enoughQuiet, as quiet as a seagate barracuda, almost silentCool, the coolest running 7200rpm harddrive out
Weaknesses: None really
Overall: This is a very overlooked hardrive. It has a 3 year warranty as opposed to all other manufacturers who have switched to 1year. Also it is one of the quietest drives around. Plenty of space, and runs cool enough that it doesnt need additional cooling via another fan. If your building a quiet system, this is currently the best drive to buy. It gives you the most performance for a near zero noise level.
Sorry, the product you requested isn't currently available from any of our sellers.
