samsung didnt always use thier own fab so the old ones are the same as the old hitatchi/ibm, and the newer ones from the 501j/f1 and newer, the main problems are that samsung was one of the 1st to go to 32MB of cashe and they looked DOA on bad bioses and there are a seemingly large amount that have physical damage that ive seen from newegg but they now ship in a foam sleeve and not just the plastic.
the only one that i dont trust anymore is seagate
