I have one 750Gb Samsung drive that I have had at least a year. So far, |
| 10 |
no problems and it is pretty fast. It does what it is supposed to for a |
| 11 |
3Gbs/sec drive. That said, it may die next week. We all know how this |
| 12 |
works. They work just fine until they die, usually with no warning or |
| 13 |
very little warning. |

I might also add, I have a UPS and surge protection coming from the |
| 16 |
wall, plus surge and voltage protection built into the UPS. I have yet |
| 17 |
to have a drive die so maybe all that does help. I dunno. |

I have several Western Digital drives, no problems so far although I |
| 20 |
don't like the green ones to much. |

Just my $0.02 worth. |
