SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DL004 / HD105SI 1TB 5400 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Pros: Fast, quiet, runs cool, small size.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: Had this for a couple months now, no hiccups or anything negative yet.
Thinking about picking up another one soon.

Pros: Been a very solid drive so far. I haven't had any issues with it yet (knock on wood). I hope it will continue to work this well.

Cons: None yet

Other Thoughts: I would recomend this drive to others. I would get another one.

Pros: Worked immediately out of box. Excellent storage volume at a reasonable price

Cons: I've had no problems with it so far.

Pros: Bought two of these drives for my build. They work like they are supposed to every time. Not much else to say.

Cons: None

Pros: This drive has been great. I have had the drive for around 6 months and it has been a great storage drive. The reads and writes are up there with the 1st gen wd green drive, which is plenty for my storage application. Picked it up as a spare FRAPS/storage drive and it records FRAPS video no problem(games on a different drive).

Cons: F3 drives are only made up to 1TB, if they had a larger drive I would've purchased that.

Other Thoughts: This drive is not marketed any different from a WD/Seagate/Hitachi drive, why are there so many arguments on this drives comments page?

Pros: Inexpensive, and a decent warranty term for the price.

Cons: This drive seemed to be incompatible with my system (I was trying to use it in a RAID configuration); it would operate first very slowly and then periodically drop offline, requiring me to unplug it and plug it back in before the system would recognize it again. It's apparently been rebranded as a Seagate "Green" drive, and neither I nor the SeaTools utility found any problems with the drive when it was operating in IDE/non-RAID mode, so I can only conclude that the issue related to compatibility with the RAID configuration.

Other Thoughts: It would be nice if Seagate provided more documentation about system compatibility, warranties, and the fact that this was a "green" drive.

Pros: - 1tb tons of storage space
- Easy to install
- Fast enough for normal use.

Cons: -Loud, seriously this thing sounds like a drive made in the 90's, doesn't sound like it is dying but definitely audible when it is writing and loading.

Other Thoughts: great deal for the price, would definitely consider buying again in the future

Pros: fired right up win7 64 burn in ran reported no bad sectors. Transfer rates 110mb read 65-72 mb write. All in all time will tell if this drive holds up. paid 60 on shell shocker deal

Cons: Minus 1 egg misleading description. I bought this drive thinking being Toshiba it would be made in south korea I wanted the quality. But it is detected as a Seagate green series, and made in China so we will see if the drive will hold up. Side note I did know of Seagate's acquisition of Toshiba's HD division. But still thought I was buying Toshiba quality.

Other Thoughts: Gigabyte 990fx ud3

Pros: Lots of storage space, for a great price. Quiet and cool, fits great in an external enclosure.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Bought this drive to store digital photographs of the last 5 years. installed to an external enclosure. Works perfectly, fast transfers. No worries of losing data now! Lots of bubble wrap to squish and pop :)

Pros: The drive is fine

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: 10% of the reviewers never stop complaining about being ripped off by 1024 vs 1000. No use to explain. And another point of their anger and frustration - where is my cable?! (egg off for that, sheesh). FYI, CABLES NEVER DEFAULT WITH A DRIVE. They belong to the computer case, not to the drive.
Please, when I read reviews, I need info on the drive, and I don't care if you have too many screws. If you have some, you probably should know about 1024/1000 and the rest.
