Awesome price, but it's gonna be about $113 for me after shipping and tax here in CA. Tempted but might hold off for a bit longer.

Nice the 750gb are now the sweet spot in price

OOS.

thanks, got one for pick up

I just got one on Fry's. There is "5 YR Warr.." on Fry's Lable. Does anyone know about how to get the warranty information about this harddisk?

A good place to start is with your serial # and Samsung's website. Pls do report back on the warranty period. I suspect you have to email tech support for the 5 year confirmation.

I was too lazy to drop by Fry's but I may have buy one now.

Fry's Sales ask me to by a Fry's 1/2/3 years warranty but I don't buy I just want manufacture warranty. But I can not find somewhere I can confirm manufacture warranty on Samsung's website

I find some information on Samsung's webside here:

This all just verifies my concerns with Samsung customer service. We bought a microwave that, just days after warranty expired, smelled like it was catching fire. Burning insulation, minor smoke. They never responded, despite my offer to let them have it back to look at in case it was a design flaw. We were in the market for an HDTV and, despite lots of good reviews of their TVs at the time, I decided against buying any more of their products. The Consumer Product Safety Commission was not interested either, which I think was a mistake, but it was during Bush's watch, so that does not surprise me. To me, it was a design defect that could have burned our house down!

I never heard of Samsung making HDDs, but every time I have bought some oddball brand hard drive, it has died days after the warranty expired; one was on the 367th day of a 1-year warranty. This was a few years back, and I deserved it because it was such an off-the-wall brand from Fry's that I just knew there would be an issue; bad karma? However, my limited experience with Samsung was enough to give me the willies.

OTOH, most companies are OK until you have a problem. That is when the "fun" begins.

Same thing happens with weirdo stuff sold at Costco, but at least you have the famous Costco warranty to back you up if you do have an early end-of-life on an item.

Good thing you dont use a computer because chances are you are using a samsung RAM (around 80%) or one of its subsidiary.
From Newegg reviews they all rate this drive better then WD or Seagate better noise, heat, and transfer rate. However there seems to be some trouble with nVida Chipsets so watchout
