Thanks for the tips AllenAhl.
I am glad you are loving your Samsung HM160HC.

Phil, I thought the Hm080HC is part of Samsung's other line of lower density drives. I think John Ratsey said the 80Gb single head ide drive wass the HM080GC.
This is the only thing I have against Samsung.
Their way of modeling is very hard to understand, cause they use HC, GC, HI, and GI interchangeably between IDE, and SATA drives.

Sure SSD's may be faster, but they are not harddrives, they are SSD

Plus they are super expensive, which is a big turnoff. The Samsung drive is pretty inexpensive, and its performance is phenomenal.
