Samsung's Spinpoint SP1203N Hard Drive

Published by

The guys at TheTechReport.com have tested Samsung's Spinpoint SP1203N hard drive. The Samsung Spinpoint was benchmarked against a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160GB, a Samsung Spinpoint SP1203N 120GB, a Seagate Barracuda V 120GB and a Western Digital Caviar 1200JB 120GB. Today, we're looking at Samsung's Spinpoint SP1203N, a near-silent ATA/133 hard drive with 2MB of cache. What makes this drive particularly interesting is that Samsung will stand behind it for a full three years, bucking a trend that's seen many hard drive manufacturers reserve three-year warranties for only premium, high-end products. Can Samsung's Spinpoint SP1203N compete with high-end drives with 8MB of cache? The results might surprise you. For the full review warp2 The Tech-report.com.
