i recently Went for 2x HD300LJ - what can i say - two those raided0 drives make half of barracuda10 noise - yes they are audiable but i find their seeks hell lot nicer than barracudas - also i have them totally undumped - they are just put into chieftec case (wich resonates like hell Preformance Wis...

Ive decided to buy 2x320 samsung's i got experience with 500 gb barracuda 10 and i guess you could torture child murderers with those disks in raid0 setup sweet god...

ye- i also tought about 400 GB models but seems that they are beyond my reach - here you can get 320 GB model at below 100$ while 400 GB is at least 180$ I seriously would like to see how 320 gb model compares with 300gb one... might be that it uses 3 platters with 2 on full capacity.... at 320 gb s...

Do you guys consider Samsung to be high faliure rate drives ? im having hard time to decide if ill go 2x320 gb samsung T series or 2x32gb Barracudas - samsung hits the spot in terms of silence but as i ran trough some forums pepole consider samsungs not to be realible - can you guys tell your experi...

well i bought 320 GB drive like a week ago but unfortunelly i dropped it right after i got it from store so i decided to RMA it directly to Seagate... i got it replaced by 500GB model - i should be damn happy about it but im NOT. FAQ reads that seagate may ship refurbished drives as replacements - w...
