I bought my friend for Xmas a new Samsung F1 320GB HD. The same exact one as mine. His is new made 12/08 where as mine is 02/08. When running HD Tune his scores alot worse then mine.

Mine is

He's running an AMD system with the 570 SLI chipset and 4 gb or ram and windows Xp. I'm running an Intel System with theP45 chip set and 4 gb of ram and windows Xp. He has like 15 processes running just like mine, yet mine scores much better. When I install his drive in mine I get the same low scores. Could that drive be bad or just made differently? He's a little ticked off to say the least. His old Seagate 7200.10 drive scores better than the samsung F1 I gave him. And we tried with AAM on or off it still scores low. And ideas??
 
I have seen the same thing with two of my 500GB F1s.

Samsung is kind of retarded when it comes to consistency. I can't say I am surprised.
 
Yeah its amazing. Its like their two different drives. But in fact they are the same. Yet one scores and even feels much faster than the other. Like I said his 2 year old seagate 7200.10 drive is faster than the samsung one. Maybe I should return these and get a WD one
