LAST MONTH, we compared five different ATA hard drives across a staggering array of benchmark tests. The comparison covered all the usual suspects-Maxtor, Seagate, and Western Digital-but there are more players in the hard drive game than those three. Samsung also makes hard drives.
Today, we're looking at Samsung's Spinpoint SP1203N, a near-silent ATA/133 hard drive with 2MB of cache. What makes this drive particularly interesting is that Samsung will stand behind it for a full three years, bucking a trend that's seen many hard drive manufacturers reserve three-year warranties for only premium, high-end products. Can Samsung's Spinpoint SP1203N compete with high-end drives with 8MB of cache? The results might surprise you.
