Mit der HD204UI führt Samsung definitiv die Stärken der EcoGreen Serie fort. Besonders im Leerlauf überzeugt die Festplatte durch ein kaum wahrnehmbares Betriebsbereich und auch die Datenraten beim sequentiellen Schreiben können...

Ce disque économique de Samsung ne tient pas la route face aux concurrents de Seagate, Western Digital et Hitachi. Mieux vaut se tourner vers le 5K300 de ce...
