Looking for a good 120gb IDE Hard Drive. Looking at the Samsung Spinpoint model.
Anyone got any experiance of this drive? How did you find it? Not that intereested in noise, just reliability and the like.

No complaints here - got a 120GB one serving up ripped DVD's (running on SATA controller via a IDE->SATA converter) - as you are not interested in noise, this drive will suit you (Sir) just fine - it's very quiet indeed (I know you really meant you are not interested in whether it's noisy or not, but I thought I'd add that neway - as a bonus)Originally Posted by Vaul

I have the spinpoint(see sig), my first one did fail, but i really do think it was my own fault i managed too somehow mess it up using windows recovery , but luckly got it rma'd, anyway point is very good drive, and silent(even though u don't care) and never heard of a samsung failing.

I also have a spinpoint 80gb and Seagate 7200.7( tiny bit louder that the barracudas). The spinpoint is slightly louder at idle but when reading it is far quieter. Its also about 5deg colder too. Performance is also much better and its cheaper!
Samsung spinpoint p80 got the 160gb model and it's bloody quick and quiet too.
