Nice price! Anyone know much about Samsung hard drives?! Thats if it is Samsung who actually make the hard drive inside?!
Samsung do make their own hard drives and they'd be shooting themselves in the foot here if they used someone else's I think
It's a loaded question. No matter what HDD manufacturer you ask about you will get people chiming in about how their drive failed on them and no one should buy drives from this manufacturer

The truth is every manufacturer has had their drives fail on some poor sod.
Samsung, in my opinion, probably give the best balance of performance mixed with very low noise so that's why I choose them for my own systems and for builds and repairs for customers. Not had one die yet. WD are next on my list and although I had one die on me in the past, I won't hold that against them as it's inevitable eventually.
