Advantages: Massive storage, cool and quiet!

Disadvantages: None

It's pretty hard to write an exciting review about a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) so I think we need to keep this one fairly basic.

I have two of these because I believe they are that good. You can pick these up for around £60 now, which is as cheap as chips in my book! These drives run quiet and cool. No annoying HDD 'seek' noises from these bad boys. Both mine sit at least 3C to 6C cooler than my other 2 HDD's.

The large 32MB cache is a boon when you are moving large files around. A typical DVD rip (DivX) movie of around 700MB can be moved in just a few seconds. A good 1TB drive like these will hold around 200 DVD's or thousands of albums.

I have never had a Samsung HDD fail on me yet and as far as standard HDD go they are top of the range.

Well worth a punt if you are looking a increasing your storage capabilities on your present rig.

Summary: One of the best 1TB HDD around!
