Samsung's 750GB Spinpoint was second only to Samsung's 1TB disk when writing large files and reading small files. It couldn't repeat this impressive performance when reading large files or writing small files, though, and came mid-table, with Western Digital's 750GB Caviar edging ahead. The Hitachi and Western Digital 750GB disks are cheaper and more consistent, making them better value.
