when u take a look at the transfer rate of these two hd's you'll see very clear what you said in your first posting.
the smaller seagate has almost the double rate!!!
that's why i'm so unsure which one i should buy.
the difference of the access time isn't so much that i think this doesn't matter really.

but when is the almost double transfer rate of the seagate noticeable?

it my current mac pro i've got 2 500gb western digital (WD5000KS) where are the libraries, samples and the apple loops are
this one has similar access times and a transfer rate of 60mb/s, so overall they are very similar to the samsung
but when i open the loop browser, it always interrupt the very smooth working/speed flow cause i have to wait about 10 seconds till the loop browser is ready and this is very very annoying!!!!

so, would be this issue gone with the double transfer rate of the seagate??????
