Product Reviews
- “For those looking for a low cost performer the Samsung drive does the job. It's reasonably quiet, has respectable performance and its price compares well against the competition 8/10.”
- “Once again, Samsung has produced a simply superb hard disk, delivering fantastic sequential and real world performance. Surprisingly, the new 1TB SpinPoint F3 is very keenly priced, more or less matching the price of the old 1TB SpinPoint F1. As such, this disk is a must-buy if you can't afford an SSD as your boot disk, or if you want masses of fast storage.”
- Custom PC - “The Samsung EcoGreen F2 HD502HI is a dream come true for the quiet PC seeker. It is inaudible at idle, which is the single most important HDD characteristic for low noise computing. It sits at the top of quiet HDDs reviewed by SPCR.”
