This is the Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ !!!!
This is the Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ !!!!
It uses PMR to store the data with much more density. This results in a brilliant sustained transfer rate & it also runs cool & quiet due to just 3 platters - buy one now!

SAMSUNG 750 F1
os:
Windows XPQuiet,cool and fast-noise is low frequency.
Took over 3 hrs to format.
I used data lifeguard tools (wdc.com)to transfer data from old WD drive to this one.
Comes in plastic shield with some HD screws.
Works fine on SATA 150-awaiting new build before moving again and using SATA 300.
It appears as quick as raptor 150AD but no where near the noise!
SATA Issues
If like me you have any trouble with your onboard SATA not being compatible I can confirm that quickfind code: 48670 PCI SATA controller works, and works well with this drive. (I think my motherboard is about 5 years old, and to be honest I didnt expect the onboard controller to work).
I think the SATA PCI controller is a SATA I rather than II, but at least you will have a working drive and at just 11 pounds, its a bargain. Disk performance was very good too.
Installed in 2 hrs
os:
Windows XPFirstly I downloaded and installed Data Lifeguard Tools from WDC.com on my old Hard Drive; then shutdown the PC, installed the new Samsung drive alongside the old boot drive and powered up again. After boot up (with the old drive), I fired up Data Lifeguard and selected "Set Up your Hard Drive". After accepting a warning about the new drive not being Western Digital the software went about its task of setting up the new Samsung drive. First I set up a few options to create a new first partition of 150 Gb (this would be my new Windows boot drive) then a second partition for the remaining 550 Gb or so of space. The software then took about 2 hrs to set up my drive, including copying over all my old C drive files. At the end of this it shut down the PC. I rebooted and could now see the new drive (and old Drive) in "my computer". The new drive had 2 partitions, the first a copy of my C drive and the second was 550 Gb of free space. I then shut down the PC, removed the old drive and restarted the PC again. thats all there was to it.
Now I have a new C drive (copy of my old one) and a new massive D drive.
Fantastic quiet and fast drive at a great price; and fantastic software from WDC.com

The most valuable 750GB hard drive with a 32MB cache in the market
This Samsung hard drive caught my attention by its very good price corresponding to its 750GB and 32MB cache. I went to a lot of online stores. I couldn't find anything match up the spec. like this hard drive with this price. I don't know how fast the "32MB cache" helps. Nevertheless, it's a good hard drive with a good price.
Super Fast & cheap

Windows VistaI bought this drive to back up my sata1 drive. using it in the antec mx-1 enclosure at first I had problems transferring data, but after using Samsungs disk utility program which amongst other things forces sata 1 speeds I had no further problems . The drive is very fast and the price is excellent, I highly recommend it.
People have been complaining about the lack of a sata 1 jumper but you don't need one just use this link
