QUOTE(wKkaY @ Jan 12 2006, 12:00 PM) Oh really? On what basis are your statements made? Do you work in an environment where hard disks are handled in large quantities? so do u still use samsung hdds? im interested in getting the P0812N, i've read many good user reviews on the P80 series here...BTW, if you buy hard disks from Samsung, take note that there's no RMA procedures. I'm learning this the hard way, after two SP0411Ns of mine failed.  http://forums.storagereview.net/index.php?...opic=13426&st=0 there's a guy who bought 100 unit and none of them failed... =) |

QUOTE(s[H]sIkuA @ Nov 28 2006, 04:00 AM) Got a 160GB samsung and 2x 320gb seagate, gotta say that Samsung produce the best hdd around , silent and fast yea, the shop (AllIT) keep recommending me samsung hdd... they say samsung is the oni company to use liquid bearing (lastest today) or sumthing like tat? it's quiet, fast and more reliable! Seagate is good too with the 5 year warranty. I have bad experience with Maxtor , WD nv use before  but it'a a lil too pricey for me... hehe... rm30 more than hitachi's... one more thing, samsung is made in KOREA! hitachi made in thailand nia...  |
