I'm a great fan of Samsung drives, having had them since the 250gb days - this drive I bought to put into my media center machine and it's working brilliantly.
The drive itself is quiet and that helps with a media center.

One of the cheapest and most reliable hard drive on the market. I own 4 over the last 2 years. Highly recommend warranty just in case anything happens. Hard drives are hard drives. They fail some day. I use two for external hard drives, plugged in bare via USB2 and the other two for NAS. I store videos and photos and lots of documents and files.
Pros:
Cheap
Big Storage
Cons:
Has an interesting start-up noise
Not extremely quiet but does not bother
I highly recommend this hard drive.

worth avoiding unless you want a slow unreliable mass storage drive...

Definitely not the best HDD available at the moment. I've had 2 of these from different sellers and both failed with SMART errors coming up in windows & BIOS within about 24 hours of installation, which was pretty disappointing. So in terms of reliability it's a serious fail. Before failure the read/write speeds I was getting were pretty poor, although slightly better than the comparable Western Digital WD20EARX. This is basically a slow storage drive, probably ok for bulk media storage, but the slow write speed (I got 14 MB/s maximum) makes it a pain in the ass to initially write the data to. That is of course assuming that the drive you get doesn't fail almost immediately...

Fantastic HDD. I may get another one IF I manage to fill this one. Seems a reliable and quick drive when installing programs and data transfer. I am very happy with this purchase.
