It has both 16MB and 32MB cache model. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Frankly speaking, from my point of view, only 2 big HDD manufacturers now left dominating in the market where the others such as Quantum, Maxtor, etc. have been taken over by them. Samsung has pretty good reputation in the HDD market as well, but not as popular as Seagate and Western Digital do. The popularity which I mean known by every level of users but not only enthusiast. We can't simply take complaints or RMA rate as reference for the company's performance. The reason there is a high rate because a lot of people using it. How will we know the failure rate from a manufacturer which less sell their product thus less people been using? Make sense, isn't? Furthermore, it is the nature of a human to complain rather than compliment on good stuffs. We hardly read up good feedback, simply because no one will bother if it is good and don't create any trouble

Nowadays... most ppl use Western Digital and Seagate. These two brands are the most popular at the moment.
Samsung and Hitachi are chasing up.
Maxtor and Quantum are dead.
