Advantages: +cheap +good spec Disadvantages: - nothing I can really think of
There is only so much I can say about the hard drive in terms of use. Basically, a hard drive is a hard drive and this functions as well as any other. However, I have had no problems with use of the drive or loudness. The hard drive excels in it's basic, yet perfectly functioning, no-frills-attached features and it's low-end price (£84.99). with computing hardware, as with any market, you tend to get what you pay for. However, Samsung are the forerunners in a rapidly growing initiative to provide good-quality hardware at affordable prices. Let's not forget that other 1TB hard-drives can stretch up into the hundreds without offering any bonuses in terms of speed or reliability.
I have never installed a hard-drive prior to buying this, but found the instructions so easy to follow that I was able to do it myself and format it in no ...
Advantages: Noise, Speed Disadvantages: Can't think of anything.
I came across this a week ago, and was taken in by the capacity and low-noise level. It seemed perfect for installing into a media center PC. Media Center boxes for a lounge need to have plenty of space for recording tv shows, whilst being quiet as to not interrupt the movies.
This hard-drive gives you the best of both worlds. 400Gb - an abundance of storage. (Ideal for ripping your entire music collection onto it) or for movies and downloaded tv episodes.

My verdict - buy one today. ...

The next price range was the Nano with slightly more memory of 8-16 GB and with video function. Quite small and at about £80 ok in price.
Unfortunately it did not have enough memory for me, as I have thousands of tracks I like to listen to. So there it was, my new new baby:
The 6th generation Classic ? It has a whopping 120GB of Hard Disk memory. It plays video and of course music. I got it for £160 and it?s definitely worth it.
The instructions says it holds 30,000 songs or 150 hours of video. But this is just on average. It depends of course on the length of each song or movie.
I never used more than 82 of it. Which included 5231 songs and two short films.
The battery life is brilliant and I ...
