Be aware as of October 1st 2002 most Western Digital drives only carry a 1
year warranty!!! From what I have been hearing, Maxtor is not far behind on
this issue! Seems to be an industry trend!! From what I have been hearing,
most other Computer components only carry a 1 year warranty, and the Disk
Drive Manufacturers are wanting to carry the same warranty as the rest of
the manufacturers.

The WD would have cost more, so there should be a refund on the Samsung
substitute.  Samsung now makes some good stuff (I love the 955DF .20 color
monitor, but I have no experience with their hard drives.
