99.9%? From what I could tell, it's 100%. My 320GB 7200.10 is slow and sounds like a circular saw. Back to Samsung for me.

That's alot better than the crashing sound I heard one time...I hope I never hear it again. Sounded like a dang chainsaw! I had a crash one time. It was old. I count my blessings though. I've only had one fail me in all these years. I know one thing I hope i never live to see a 10 or 15K drive crash...heck, that might explode!
