Unfortunately for the SpinPoint T from Samsung, its own replacement is at the same time the largest thorn in its side. PC Pro felt it was overshadowed by newer drives and its once impressive performance and features have now been superseded. It still remains good value for money, but even in this aspect, it is again matched by the newer Samsung.
