Samsung SpinPoint T166 500GB

Samsung's SpinPoint T166 delivers excellent performance for the money in our opinion. The overall performance of the drive in the 500GB category remained consistent, and while not always class leading it certainly was not the class dunce. The drive's placement in our actual application tests is always near the top along with very good scores in the iPEAK productivity and general task tests.

While the speed of the drive was at question in our iPEAK game play tests, we really never noticed it during actual game play unless we had just used the Raptor drive as our comparison drive. The true strength of the Samsung SpinPoint T166 500GB drive is its incredible showing in the acoustic and thermal tests while having excellent power consumption numbers and competitive performance.

For all intents and purposes, the drive is whisper quiet - maybe not a perfect soft whisper, but quiet enough that we would not hesitate to use this drive or a combination of drives in an HTPC setup. As a matter of fact, you will see this drive featured prominently in an upcoming article centered on HTPC components and it is our drive of choice to compare against the PVR specific DB35.3 series from Seagate and the CinemaStar 7K500 drives from Hitachi.

Samsung's SpinPoint T166 delivers excellent performance in our pair of disc access captures that represent the everyday performance a drive in a typical desktop system may encounter. Speed-wise, the T166's drawbacks are few... a middling showing in a couple of our gaming tests as well as poor performance in our multi-user tests, an environment for which the T166 is not intended.

In addition to its sparkling productivity results, Samsung's flagship SpinPoint brings stellar acoustics and commendable power consumption figures to the table. The T166 is a whisper-quiet drive, and one that operates efficiently enough that it will not squander its impressive noise floor through cooling requirements.

All in all, like the P120, the SpinPoint T166 delivers a great combination of productivity performance, quiet operation, and power economy. It should be at the top of the list for anyone seeking an inexpensive, high-capacity drive.

das stütz sich meinerseits leider auf nichtfunktionieren aller meiner platten mit dem gigabyte dq6 - egal, mim P5B (alte SB) laufen sie ohne probleme
