5.0 out of 5 stars
Devilishly fast!,
By
This review is from: Samsung Spinpoint EcoGreen F2 1.5TB SATA II 3.5-Inch Hard Drive (32MB Cache, 5400 RPM, 3 Year Warranty, OEM) (Personal Computers)
I purchased this drive elsewhere (needed a guaranteed next day delivery) so my review is based purely on the drive alone and not on Amazon's packaging of such delicate equipment, as questioned on reviews from other hard drives here.
Samsung may not be market leaders in hard drives right now, unlike Western Digital and Seagate, but they unquestionably know how to make good hard drives. This is my fourth Samsung hard drive, with my previous three still in use and working after years of service. The whole intention of these 'Green' drives is to consume less power, produce less heat, and be quiet. Samsung's hard drives are well known to run cool & quiet, but this drive takes it to a new level! After 24 hours of being connected, with over 200GB of data transferred and several hours of constant becnhmarking and testing, the drive is a very cool 23 degrees. During a file transfer, the disk is virtually silent. The side of my PC case is off, with the hard drive sitting outside of the case itself... I cannot hear it over my fans even when set to their lowest settings. If there is any noise from the drive at all, then it will all but become extinct when actually inside a case. To the uneducated computer owner, some hard drives are better suited to some tasks than others. For instance, this drive has 2 excellent uses. Home Theater PC's (HTPC) or storage/backup drive. Due to it's supremely quiet noise and very low temperature, it is perfectly matched for a HTPC which is likely to be in your living room or bedroom - two rooms where lower noise is more important than better performance. Personally though I am using it as a backup & storage drive. The drive is surprisingly fast... some 'results': Single 6GB File: 35 second transfer from main drive to Samsung EcoDrive 1.5TB 30GB Folder of 3GB Files: 6 minutes flat So far I am hugely impressed. It's quiet, it stays cool, and it's fast. Devilishly fast, considering what it is. If you are currently looking into buying a large hard drive, then hopefully this will help you make up your mind on what to get. I was between this Samsung and the "Western Digital WD15EADS Caviar Green 1.5TB SATAII 32MB Cache 3.5 Inch Green Power Oem Internal Hard Drive", but I couldnt be happier with my decision to get the Samsung!

This review is from: Samsung Spinpoint EcoGreen F2 1.5TB SATA II 3.5-Inch Hard Drive (32MB Cache, 5400 RPM, 3 Year Warranty, OEM) (Personal Computers)
I have installed this HD in a Synology 109 server so far (been about 1month) its working great!It was very easy to install snap in one cable and screw in 4 support screws took me 5mins (you dont need to be a techy for this). The drive itself is pretty fast and for the most part fairly silent - i have it in my lounge and frankly the Virgin box Hard drive makes probably 5x more noise. The HD also looks pretty strong and well constructed - def worth a look!

Insufficient Packaging/Protection During Delivery - But Good Product,
This review is from: Samsung Spinpoint EcoGreen F2 1.5TB SATA II 3.5-Inch Hard Drive (32MB Cache, 5400 RPM, 3 Year Warranty, OEM) (Personal Computers)
I bought this drive last week and it arrived yesterday.
The product is fine, quiet, quick and good value for money - does exactly what I needed it for (extra storage in my HTPC setup). I am not someone who benchmarks equipment like this so I am only commenting qualitatively, but so far I am happy. My main gripe is the packaging in which the drive was delivered, which was far from sufficient. Essentially the drive was housed in a thin clear plastic box with approximately 10 mm space around the outside (making the total package about the size and shape of a thick paperback book). This packaging is called "seashell packaging". Then this box was then merely wrapped in the same cardboard surround that one might expect a paperback book to be delivered in. This type of packaging offers insufficient vibration protection and there were no markings to denote that it contained a fragile computer component. During delivery it would not surprise me if the package could be exposed to significant impact and vibration would could easily cause catastrophic damage to the drive. I would expect such an item to be delivered in a 150mm by 100mm box with fitted padding (or something similar) to ensure safe arrival. Of course, being the size and shape it was, the drive was posted through the letterbox and allowed to fall 1m onto my hardwood floor!!!!!! I suppose the Amazon rationale is that if 1 in 20 drives are damaged then they will still save money overall on replacing that one drive, but I question how much this transit might have affected the life of my drive! I have had a look into minimum packaging requirement and managed to find the Seagate returns advice for minimum acceptable returns packaging (I am sure Samsung would have similar standards(http://www.seagate.com/support/service/pdf/pack.pdf). This states that this packaging along is not sufficient and needs 2 inch of foam rubber all arround the drive in addition to the seashell packaging. 4* for the product 4* for the delivery and service 1* for the packaging Overall score 3*
