Caution: Samsung drive manuf. in China

For some time we have recommended Samsung drives as being the most
reliable.

However, we received one for recovery today - a newish HD161HJ.

It is manufactured in China.

Just a warning - I wouldn't trust even a Samsung drive manufactured in
China.

That measures speed, not reliability.

The Hitachi P7K500 is a very fast hard disk. I've just backed
up a RAID-0 (2 x 750GB Seagate 7200.10, SATA-150, PCI interface)
onto one of them, and I was getting write speeds of 6GB/minute.
