Samsung SpinPoint M6 HM320JI 320 GB

SpinPoint

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 ...

Review of Samsung SpinPoint F1 Desktop Class HD103UJ 1 TB

Samsung SpinPoint 400Gb 3.5" Hard disk drive

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. You're probably wondering what the difference is between this and the other 400Gb drives on the market, and this one is quietly leading the way. Top performance, with whisper quiet acoustics. My verdict - buy one today. ...

Review of Samsung SpinPoint T133 HD400LD 400 GB

Archos 7 (320GB)

Advantages: Light, extra features, good quality, memory, media support.
Disadvantages: Not really any.

Well it's a touchscrene for a start. It is amazingly easy to navigate, sporting a well-designed title menu. Furthermore, there isn't really an instalation process, it's pretty much just turn it on and off you go. 5/5 Look and Design It certainly looks cool. This actually turns heads when you're using it on a bus or train, and I've even had the odd brave person come over and ask what it is and what it does. 5/5 Range of Features Pretty good, it has: *More memory than you, or at least I, will ever use with 320GB storing up to 400 movies, 3.2 million photos, or 190,000 songs. I mean who gets time to watch 400 movies or listen to 190,000 songs? and as for 3.2 million photos... *A die-hard battery, playing 39 hours music and 10 hours video playback time on a single charge. * Video support for MPEG-4, M-JPEG and even ...
