    Anyone seen these, spotted them today, Samsung 160GB 7200 2MB cache
    Couldn't see a price and none of the staff knew, nothing on their website either. Anyone know what price they are ?

    Bring one up to the til and say you want to buy it. They'll come up with a price... then change your mind ;)

    They're just being lazy not bothering to find out from what I can see...

    I'd avoid samsung, many of their drives have died on my, within weeks of being replaced(had no choice of a different make to get replaced)

    FWIW, my experience of Samsung drives is totally different. I've had 4 drives running heavy duty (constant r/w) for 4years without a problem, 12 or 13 running constantly spun up, but not always r/w'ing, for at least 4 years, and 1 in my xbox which doesn't get too much use.

    You should have told them you wanted to buy it anyway, and they'd have gone and taken it out of the box and then they'd have to find a price :)

    I wonder which is quieter though. Those WD can be noisy.
