I bought this hard drive as a storage drive. It has a large enough capacity and is fast. Although it whines when I turn my PC on, it is quiet when it's running. The F3 drives make that noise when they spin up and it is a little worrying till you get used to it as it sounds faulty! I like it because it is fast and quiet and I'm thinking of getting a smaller capacity F3 for my system volume. It is faster than my other terabyte drive and unlike some manufacturers, I didn't find a long list of failures when I searched for them on the Internet.
A brand new Samsung drive at a great price.

My main machine is a quad core running Windows 7. I needed an external 1TB backup on which to back up a system image and all files - just in case of a hard drive failure. I bought this drive and, separately, I bought a caddy with a plug in power supply. I inserted the drive in the caddy, attached the plug in power supply, plugged the USB lead into a USB port and I was away. Although 7200 rpm it is surprisingly quiet after the initial start up noise (I later discovered that this start up noise is a 'feature' of the drive and not a fault) It has a cache of 32MB (which is a lot) and the transfer speed is high. I have found it to be a very good performer at a reasonable price.
i bought this product to give me some extra storage on my aging pc. It was easy to install all I needed extra was a sata cable and a power adapter lead, formatting was easily carried out using windows xp (compmgmt.msc)after making necessary changes in the bios. It took about an hour then it was all done ready to use. the disk drive is not as fast as i thought it would be, but it is quick enough to store edited videos which was what I really needed it for. overall I am happy with this product.
Was a bit worried about buying refurb hhd. But I did fitted it and everything went like a dream.
