This is the best HDD that I have ever owned. It's fast and quiet. I plan on purchasing at least one more before year's end.

- Connection (Connection type)
Hard disk drives are connected to the motherboard over one of a number of bus types. Most common options include parallel ATA (PATA, a.k.a. IDE), Serial ATA (SATA) and SCSI. Other possible types are, for example, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Fibre Channel. Additionally, there is a number of variants of the mentioned bus types, which differ from each other by bandwidth and transfer speed.
- Buffer (Buffer size)
Hard disks have an internal buffer (or cache) that functions as an intermediate repository for data being transferred between the hard disk and the PC. In hard disks, the buffer is used to hold the results of recent reads from the disk, and also to hold information that is likely to be requested in the near future. The buffer reduces the need to physically access the drive and therefore improves the performance of any hard drive.
- SMART (S.M.A.R.T. support)
SMART is short for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology, and is a monitoring system for computer hard disks to detect and report on different indicators of reliability, in the hope of anticipating failures.
- Seek time (Average seek time)
The seek time (or random access time) measures the amount of time required for the read/write heads to move between tracks over the surfaces of the platters. Seek time is normally measured as average seek time from one random track to any other and is expressed in milliseconds (msec or ms). It is one of the most important performance measures for hard disks.
- Write time (Average write time)
The write time (or write seek time) measures the amount of time required for the write heads to move between tracks over the surfaces of the platters. It is normally measured as average write seek time from one random track to any other and is expressed in milliseconds (msec or ms).
- Spindle (Spindle speed)
The speed at which the platters turn, expressed as rotations per minute (rpm for short).The faster a drive rotates, the higher its transfer rate. The downside of faster rotation is the possibility of overheating and noise.
- Latency (Average latency)
The length of time that passes between the moment when the disk finds the track and the moment it finds the data.

I've got several of these things. They were purchased for a mere $99USD each. Considerably cheaper than other drives of the same capacity (which usually have less cache, are louder, and slower!)($110-135). These hard drives are faster than my other ones, have a larger cache, as well as being a lot quieter. I can't hear them in my case. For the price, these things are an amazing bang for the buck. Hell, even if they were priced as high as your name-brand hard drives, for the performance they give, they'd still be worth every penny!

The first thing that would attract many to the HD753LJ is its absurdly low price for a 750GB drive - I see MicroDirect now offer the drive for less than £60. It has more than just that advantage though, its seek noise is practically nil, and its idle noise is also incredibly slight. Unlike previous Samsung HDDs, its level of vibration is much more acceptable, so it can be used in the majority of PC cases out there without giving you a headache. It boasts one of the best peak and continuous data transfer rates of any drive in the industry. A truly remarkable product.
