I just bought a WD EARS 2 TB and thought I'd chip in with a quick mini review.

I'm considering buying either WD1600BEVS, 5K250/5K320 160 GB (what's the platter density on the 5K250 line, BTW?) or Samsung M5S 160 GB. What's got me stuck right now in my choosing is my uncertainty on whether I'll be able to disable APM on any of these drives. The clicking noises from my current S...

Service Manual to Samsung P120S
A couple of days ago my heart stopped for a few seconds. The resaon was smoke and an ugly smell coming from my Samsung P120S(SP2504C).
