Product Description
Samsung's F2 Series EcoGreen Drive is the ideal high capacity drive for green computing environments.The new eco-friendly hard drive, F2EG is designed to meet demand for high performance devices with lower power consumption. Samsungs EcoGreen F2 makes it possible to design storage systems with the right balance of high capacity, fast performance and energy conservation. Samsung F2EG has the worlds best areal density at 5400RPM rotation speeds. High density means more bits pass under the head faster, and it improves the drive performance. Samsung employs an advanced data recording technology, which brings the next generation technology into todays single disk platform, enabling Samsungs new 5400RPM drives to perform at current 7200RPM drive speeds. The internal SysMark test results confirms that F2EG performs as same as 7200RPM drive speeds, and even 10% faster than other green drives. Power Requirements Voltage +5V±5%, +12V±10%

I bought this Samsung Ecogreen HD103SI SATA 1TB drive to replace the failing Maxtor 300GB HDD in my Thompson Sky HD box. It was reasonably priced from Amazon and it arrived quickly. It was easy to format after putting it in my Sky HD box - just unpack it and slot it in to the box drive bay, attach the two connectors and the fan cable and perform a system reset. This formats the drive to just under 1/2TB (the maximum available from the Sky HD box software), so in order to get the 1TB back, I had to remove it from the box and perform a backup, partition remove and restore using sky copy+ and a SATA USB2 drive caddy. This removes the Sky HD format limit and allows much more space for recordings. All quite easy to do. It has completely transformed my Sky HD box. Start up time is unprecedented. It's very quiet compared to the previous drive and does not produce nearly as much heat; so my box fans don't run so much! All my pixelating picture woes are gone and most importantly the box does not keep on periodically shutting down and refusing to restart. Everything the HD box does is now very much quicker, (I guess because of the faster read / write times and the larger cache of this drive). My Sky HD box now sits quietly on the side ready to leap into action! If you're thinking of, or having to replace your Thompson Sky HD drive whilst upgrading to a 1TB HDD, then this drive is an excellent choice.

I am realy happy and amazed of this HDD. It is so quiet and it does not get very hot. My 4 year daughter dropped it on a ceramic floor and to my astonishment, it kept working as if nothing happened. It is amazing!!!

Unreliable over the long term
The good:
A quiet drive when spun up, and quite nippy for a 5400rpm drive. Stays quite cool compared to my Western Digital drives. Read more
