Died After 5 Months
Worked great for almost 5 months, fast, almost silent. Then right in the middle of transferring a large video file... the dreaded click, click, click. And that was it... all my data gone! Luckily I hadn't got round to wiping the source drives. So I only lost a minimal amount of data, but that was just down to pure luck.

Amazon has offered a me credit to buy a new drive, but I'm not sure if I'm going to accept this, as I've already bought a Western Digital replacement.

Maybe I was just unlucky, but I definitely won't be buying another Samsung hard drive anytime soon. I'll be sticking with one the established drive manufactures in future I.e. Western Digital, Seagate, Maxtor etc...

Click, Click Bang goes my data
Lasted 5 days, then a cyclic redundancy error. I did a windows disk check (which took about 5 hours) then returned to find the machine hung at the bios stage with the drive emitting the dreaded mechanical click, click, click sound. Totally dead from that point. Luckily most of what was on the drive was backed up elsewhere, just lost about 100 photos and a few hours of my time. I had a bad feeling about it and wanted to give it a few weeks before I committed to important data. I'm going back to Western Digital (2 drives still going strong after 4 and 6 years). Samsung should go back to making fridges/TVs (and the million other types of product they make) - leave this specialist field to specialist companies.

Be Warned If You Value Your Data!
