Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The Spinpoint F3 operates at 7200RPM with up to 1 Terabyte (TB) data storage capacity by using two 500 Gigabyte (GB) per platter disks. As well as meeting data center requirements for addition storage to meet rising demand and increasing performance needs, the drives also deliver high-performance with lower power for desktop computers and servers.The Spinpoint F3 utilizes advanced 500GB per platter technology, so that two-platter 1TB capacity is achieved. Increased areal density per platter provides up to a 30 percent higher performance than a three-platter 1TB in the same 3.5" form factor. A reduction in mechanical parts also contributes to enhanced reliability in terms of anti-shock and data failure. Samsung's hard drive utilizes its low noise operation technology SilentSeek and NoiseGuard to achieve a quiet operation system. In addition, the Spinpoint F3 is compliant with the restriction of hazardous substances directive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best on the market outside of sold state drives, 19 Dec 2009
By Mr. S. C. Hodgson (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Samsung HD103SJ 1 TB 32 MB 7200RPM SATA Internal Hard Disk Drive (Electronics)
Did a lot of research before buying and this drive was consistantly recommended.

After building it into my sons new PC we did some online tests which proved how fast it was. Recommended by me too..

5.0 out of 5 stars fast and silent drive, 8 Feb 2010
By Guillermo Alvarez - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Samsung HD103SJ 1 TB 32 MB 7200RPM SATA Internal Hard Disk Drive (Electronics)
Just like the previous reviewer, I did quite a bit of research before buying this drive.
I could not be happier, it is really fast and silent in my LaCie FW800 enclosure (much more than the seagate that originally came with it).
On top of everything, it is very reasonably priced. Overall, an excellent value for money.

2.0 out of 5 stars one and a half months..., 28 July 2010
By L. Bates - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Samsung HD103SJ 1 TB 32 MB 7200RPM SATA Internal Hard Disk Drive (Electronics)
I bought the drive on the back of positive reviews on various review sites (bit tech, hexus etc.). I do agree with the reviews they give, the drive is quick. But these sites don't test for longevity, or lack thereof. I've had this drive for one and a half months, and no longer have it, its on its way back to Samsung. The drive refuses to spin up.
I will, if I remember, update this review following the RMA process detailing my experience. I will also add that this is the only drive of this model I own, so it may be a one-off fault, and I'm sure that not all drives will fail so quickly or at all in their life cycle. (I hope).
I have various other drives, none of which have yet died on me, even after years of use, including a Maxtor (not renowned as the most reliable drives, but I can't fault mine.), Hitachi, and some from Seagate. The drive was not excessively in use, it was used for windows 7 and Gentoo for at most a few hours a day. Next time I'll go for reputation as well as reviews, next drive (to back up and possibly replace this one via RAID 0) will probably be a western digital blue/black/yellow.
All in all, not happy, but this may not be representative of these drives.
