get a good mobile hdd case. with anti shock bumpers. i've never had a hdd die on me. since 8 years ago. now got new 80gb samsung sata, 2 year old 80gb maxtor, 4 year old seagate 40gb, dunno how old seagate 20gb, and 8 year old 10gb seagate. if ur using a 3.5" it is more sensitive to movement compared to 2.5". this month issue hardwaremagazine hitachi deskstar got good reviews, better than most hdds in terms of performance, only lose out to WD raptor. pcmark05 5800 marks. dunno about other hdd scores though.

there were some background programs running. is that why the samsung has ups and downs in its benchmark?
sata and pata hdds cables. shouldnt have any interference.
