Pros: WOW! Bought 2 running in raid0 128k stripe (probably should have done 64k) short stroked to 120 gigs. For about a hundred bucks I wish I would have bought these two for my OS than the 70 I spent on the WD 750 caviar black. The caviar black gave good results on start up and general use, but these two samsungs really are FAST. Files load at least 50% or more faster. Start up and shut down are noticeably faster. First use of Microsoft office is still faster than the caviar black, but upon re-opening a word doc it becomes almost instantaneous. I’ve run hdtune 2.55 and crystaldiskmark 3.0.1 x64.

Cons: absolutely NONE!
Overall Review: continued: hdtune 2.55 750 caviar black Max 128.5 mb/s Min 61.0 mb/s Average 100.2 mb/s Access time 12.5 ms burst 132.8 mb/s i'm very happy i bought these two instead of an ssd. i'm still not comfortable with their price and reliability. maybe someday i'll look into one. i've had no problems with vibrations or noise. they've been VERY quiet. would definitely recommend these samsungs! current build AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Thermaltake Blue orb II GIGABYTE GA-880GM-UD2H CORSAIR XMS3 16GB DDR3 1333 2 Samsung Spinpoint F4 320 Raid0 WD Caviar Black 750GB APEVIA X-QPACK2/Gold Windows 7 Professional 64/ Samity Linux
