Samsung hard drive is a good option for a hard drive. Based on my observation, most internal hard drive’s users prefer to buy Samsung drive as the third option after Western Digital and Seagate drive. This time, I’ll review a little about Samsung hard drive.

Samsung released a powerful standard internal hard drive for computing environment these days. The product’s name is SpinPoint T133 HD300LD. As internal data storage, this Samsung hard drive delivers fast performance for any demanding PC application, and for any type of data like mp3, video, or multimedia. It suits for any CPU.

Pros

The access data speed of this 3.5 inch Samsung hard drive is as fast as Western Digital Caviar WD5000AAKS, delivers high speed spindle speed 7200 RPM which is very fast for a 300 GB internal hard disk drive.

Cons

SpinPoint HD300LD can only be used on PC and it is not possible to use on Mac, very sorry for Mac’s users. The weakness of this Samsung hard drive’ specification is 8 MB buffer size. I don’t say that 8 MB cache is not fast, but WD Caviar is just better in this case.

Specs

• Capacity : 300 GB
• Spindle speed : 7200 RPM
• Buffer cache : 8 MB
• Burst transfer rate : 100 MBps
