[Newegg US] Korean Samsung HD204UI 2TB EcoGreen F4 + cool 3.5" case - $90 - YMMV - Page 2

Glad I could help some folk out!

I've been really interested in those Reds myself, but I don't really have enough clients to afford a bad batch, so I'm still waiting on other's experiences, but I probably will in a month or two based on what I've read about them or if clients are interested. Would've bought them for my own RAID if I knew they were coming but ended up expanding with some end of life Hitachi 5K3000's frown.gif

Hey, that's not a bad model. BackBlaze said in their blog that the 5K3000's have the lowest RAID dropout rate of all drives that they've tested. That's pretty impressive. thumb.gif

But since they won't be available anymore, it's time to look for alternatives. smile.gif

I grabbed one before the promo code wore off, thanks very much. I will report back if I end up finding out what drive is inside, still unsure if I intend to crack the enclosure. Thanks again!
post #14 of 38
Confirmed Samsung Model HD204UI inside. Product of Korea.

450

The enclosure is pretty fancy too. If anyone is wondering how to get it off it is just four small hex screws on the side and the cover lifts right up.

Niiiice.

It's funny, about two weeks ago I saw like twenty different 2TB Story Stations available on Newegg from ~$90-$110, now they're all OOS. Sad day for Samsung drives, wonder what Seagate will be doing with the brand. I know they plan on continuing their 2.5" line, what are they going to do with all of that (IMO superior) 3.5" tech Samsung developed?

Interesting article, wish I could get my failure rate that low biggrin.gif It's too bad they're discontinuing the line, all of my experiences have been excellent. Luckily I was able to grab some 2TB drives off of J&R (still in stock there), but at $120 each. Wonder why they're dropping the 5400 rpm line and sticking with 7200... I also wonder how much Hitachi tech went into that Red line...

I brought one too thinking it's the same drive as OEM.
The Story drive spins down every 2 minutes and this setting can't be changed with HDDScan as I originally thought. SO annoying...I think I will put it back in the enclosure once I fill it with files.

This drive spins down like that when you have it connected via SATA cable to your MOBO?

I bought one also thinking it was the same drive but I have it in a enclosure connected via eSata. I'm seeing the same thing of course. Thanks for confirming this by the way. I wonder if you can update the firmware of this drive with the one from the OEM drive?
