I have used Samsung Spinpoint hard drives for several years now and would be a preference over some other branded models. The major talking points are the noise reduction of the drive, build quality and value for money. The Spinpoint has always been a quiet drive, from my first 80gig to this latest 640gig device. They go hardly noticed at 5400RPM and any sign of noise is usually a sign that the device has taken a knock and could fail eventually. I have had one drive do this so far and it took over a year for the drive to finally give up with others lasting for many years. The newer drives that spin at 7200RPM are a little noisier so speed and performance have to be balanced with more noise. The build quality is superior to other brands at the same price. I always shake a new drive to listen for any errant noises and never hear a thing with a new Spinpoint. Compare it to a Hitatchi made in Thailand and it's a different story. You can get a very fair amount of usage out of a Samsung, the 640gig I have is used purely as a back-up device so gets moved around a lot and plugged in and out of my PC at random. Once formated I got just under 600gig of space available for the files I have to secure and it is working well and has yet to show any signs slowing down. It can access data almost as fast as my PC's internal drive and moving data occurs at about 30Mb a second across USB2.0. Samsung Spinpoints are priced just right. The 640gig cost me £41 new and I could only find a Hitachi that was cheaper. I view Samsung Spinpint drives as products that can be trusted to fit my budget and exceed my expectations with their long life spans and durability.Read full review
I bought this product as it is sold in a variety of very good top brands. The speed is amazing, very fast, I am using for my play station 3 and it really does make a lot of difference having a bigger hard drive with higher speed. If you have a lot of data gathered on your play station, you will enjoy the experience of this hard drive. I have used Seagate hard drive before and this one was Samsung they just as good and do the same job for me. I would definitely recommend this product.
Top notch what great value for a hard drive of this size, by far cheapest for NEW on eBay...I will be buying another Cheers
I bought this HDD to upgrade my PS3 from the original 60GB HDD after running out of space. The product fit correctly and was very easy to install. A quick automatic format and it worked perfectly. I now have about 600GB in my PS3. (It doesn't read exactly 640GB, that is to be expected though) This hard drive is excellent value for money due to the amount of space for the very reasonable price.
