This review is from: SAMSUNG SpinPoint MT2 HM100UI 1TB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros:
Small 2.5 1Gb Newegg is the best.
Cons:
Many of this hdd have problems with "reallocation sectors" and other (S.M.A.R.T.) status.
Overall Review:
Before installing anything on it :
1. Check the health status (S.M.A.R.T.) with Hd Tune ...
2. Format the drive Long Format.
3. Scan for errors with windows error checking and check disk options selected *Automatically fix file system errors and *Scan for and attempt recovery of bed sectors.
4. Check the health status SMART again.
5. Scan for errors with Hd Tune.
6. Check the health status SMART again.
If everything is OK than you can put your data on it.
It will take you from 6 to 10 hours to complete the the test, but it is better than loosing your data later.
