Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

This new hard disk drive from Samsung achieved an outstanding performance on our tests. It is a very good hard disk drive for those looking for a 250 GB hard drive using the new SATA-300 interface. In our tests it worked just fine on a SATA-150 motherboard, meaning that you can buy it even if your motherboard doesn’t support the new SATA-300 standard.

When installed on a SATA-300 motherboard its minimum transfer rate increased over 80%, even though its maximum and average transfer rates remained the same whether the motherboard was a SATA-150 or a SATA-300 one.

It costs a little bit more than SATA-150 250 GB hard drives from other manufacturers, so it is up to you paying a little bit more to have a high performance hard drive. If you can afford it, it is a great buy.
