Been using Seagates for quiet operation for maybe three years or so...bought four of these for a terabyte of separate drives and all four are quieter than two of my seagates. There was a very slight speed loss moving from 7200.8's to this, but I don't have NCQ, SATA-II, or 3.0gb/s, and having 8 discreet partitions has been much more beneficial for my audio/video work.
Very awesome drives.

First I was thinking... Maybe hes so frusterated he's becaome a killer.. then I was thinking... over hard drives?? No, it must be that he really loves to bathe in milk... Then I just figured that the "ou" he ment to type he simply substatuted for an "a" because he's from New York and he confused his left ring finger: "s" for his right ring finger: "L" because he's dyslexic. Which naturally is easy to understand and hence must be the case.

I love how one failure deems a drive completely crap nowadays. Remember that everyone's needs are different. I needed something that was absolutely as quiet as possible for my audio work, but I needed multiple hard drives. While its easy to get one or even two hard drives relatively "quiet," I now have four that are nearly silent.
I've owned literally dozens of hard drives throughout my life, and this was my reasoning behind purchasing the Samsungs. Out of all of the drives I've ever owned, spanning across some 15 years, the only drives that have ever died on me were two different Maxtors and one Western Digital.
I've been using these Samsungs for over six months now without a hitch. I've been using 10 different Seagates for the past four years or so and not a one died.
By having so much space and so many "fast spots" for my audio and video work - FOR ME - they are awesome! And as the price goes down, I plan on buying two more to finish off the rest of the Seagates...

I wish you luck in that purchase, But 2 out of 2 bad drives in one purchase pretty much sums up the last time I will buy that type of drive.
