SAMSUNG Spinpoint 5400RPM HDD

[RedRaven571]

Anyone have any experience with one of these drives in a MBP?

Newegg has a 640GB one on sale for $65.98 through 7/25.

For $65, I would like to double the size of my current HDD (even though it's 7200RPM).

Geez! Is it THAT bad a drive? No one has one?

I just clicked the link. It is actually $80. It seems like an okay drive, but you might want to check out the warranty on it. If samsung makes bad drives, and they have a bad warranty, I would not recommend this drive. I don't have this drive, nor will I. I will get a WD or a seagate, not a sammysung.

The drive is $64.99 with the promo code listed right on the page. Also, the Samsung SpintPoint drives are some of the highest rated drives on NewEgg.
