Thanks for the heads up. I don't think I've ever seen a 750 cheaper. I just might pick one up.

Which one do you think is better? The Seagate or the Samsung?

I'm a big fan of samsung, in general - I have never had a single in-service samsung drive fail. This is probably more luck than anything else, really, but I'll take it.

Thanks for the head's up, Pat.

Between those two, I am a Seagate guy, personally.

I also prefer Samsung. I bought an IDE drive, and I have never had a quieter drive in my experience. I have also had great service from the drive too. I normally think of Sansung and TV's, but I really like my Samsung replacement drives.
