Samsung 1 Terabyte SATA 3G Mobile Storage 5400 RPM 8MB Cache Bare Drive HM100UI

Fine

Is OK

Bare Drive - No kidding. That's pretty much all that was in the box. Not even a receipt, which would have been nice (hence only 4 stars). Pretty fast delivery. Other than that, it works. I installed it in a Patriot Box Office Media Player so now I don't have to deal with streaming my videos and music from my main computer over my home network.

I purchased this to max out my mid 2009 MacBook Pro. I was hesitant to tinker as I have had no problems in 2 years. For the first week it worked great. the I started getting slow downs and system hang ups. I used tech tools deluxe and found hundreds of bad sectors. I tried to look up support and discovered that Samsung doesn't even recognize the model number as a legitimate product on their site. Couldn't find any tech help so I did what was suggested on other forums and wiped the disk clean, wrote to zero's to help with the bad sectors, and performed a clean install of Snow Leopard. This worked for about an hour. In frustration I called Apple care and set up an appointment at the genius bar. The tech wiped my system and performed a "factory install" or Snow Leopard and iLife 11 and sent me on my way. Within the day I was having issues and before night my system refused to boot. This is 100% the hard drive's fault. Avoid at all cost.

I gave this 2 stars for fit and runs silent. Ordered two,installed one in my 15" Macbook Pro, after three weeks of used the drive failed. Try disc repair and tried to reinstalling operating system but keeps failing with errors. I have now installed the second one and returned the first to the manufacture for replacement. Let see how long the second one last....

Exceptionally easy installation into a 15.4" Macbook Pro. This should fit in the newest MBPs as well as 2010 MBPs. The 1tb capacity is a dream for the data-heavy traveller.

I have no experience with the data performance, since it couldn't fit into the slot of my Dell laptop. That additional 0.1 inch thickness is a killer.

I ordered one to install in my MacBook Pro and it worked rather slowly for two weeks until it eventually failed with white screen of death. I then reinstall from scratch (I had imaged it with Clonezilla at first) doing all update and recovering with time machine. It was still slow and failed again with white screen of death. I reinstall my old drive and everything works fine. Macbook pro is 2010 release and Im not sure if this is due to a faulty drive or because the drive is bigger so the air flow inside is limited thus overheating the drive. Planning to try a 750G which has the same size as original drive. Bad experience overall.

Die gelieferte HDD hatte augenscheinlich einen Defekt und wurde intern sowie über externes Gehäuse nicht erkannt. Sie drehte nur kurz an und nach ein paar Mal klackern ging sie wieder aus. Einen Stern gibt es aber für den Verkäufer, da die Lieferung etc. gepasst hat.

This is a great product. Slightly larger than it's smaller counterparts (in height), but still a great unit. Quiet running, with no errors at all. Finally 2.5" HDDs are getting to the size that many of us require
