more gooder

Pros: Silent operation. Single platter. Low power consumption. Keeps cools. I run it in a external enclosure and on it runs on USB power (no other cables necessary).
Cons: It would be nice if samsung's technical documents were more forthright by stating explicity the drive was single platter.
Overall Review: HD Tune: SAMSUNG HM321HI Benchmark Transfer Rate Minimum : 44.3 MB/sec Transfer Rate Maximum : 90.9 MB/sec Transfer Rate Average : 71.8 MB/sec Access Time : 16.8 ms Burst Rate : 150.2 MB/sec Keep in mind that this data comes from an *enclosure*! Albeit, eSata. But, that's fast.

Comments: I got this card in two days (thanks, Newegg). But, I'm getting artifacts on BF2. Anyone else?
