Haven't had one of Samsung's P120 series, but surely best Samsung drives yet. I'm waiting for Samsung's 400-500GB HDDs.

And now, can you tell us what you think about your new Samsung HDD's? Are they quiet enough? Any problems yet?

No problems here, working fine.

But their 400gb drives will kick ass, even in performance!

Some people say Samsung HDD's are prone to fail very easily. Maybe that would apply to older series...

Just ordered a SP2514N, I hope I won't regret it like I did with the WD Caviar.

i just stuck it in an enclosure and used disk management to make 2 partitions (splitting it 50/50) then used a full format as using a full format also checks for bad sectors etc which i always like to do with a new drive, which is why it took so long
