Hdd basically dead, taken me an hour to copy 1GB onto an external when it normally takes 2 minutes, need replacement now.
Just a quick Q, what's the different between SATA and SATAII? And is this an good drive.

SATA runs up to 150MB/s
SATAII runs up to 300MB/s
And yes, Samsung F1's are great drives
Yeah, it's a top drive. SATA II is newer. It runs at 300MB/s compared to SATA which runs at 150MB/s. SATA II drives are backwards compatible with SATA ports on your motherboard if that's what you're worried about.Quote:

Samsung's are decent hdd's and tbh you wouldn't really notice the difference in Sata and Sata II , it's mainly large enterprises that could use it more effectively.
