Samsung is considered one of the leading manufactures in many consumer
products, and here in MyCE most of our Samsung
reviews are based on optical disk drives (ODD).
This time we will be taking a closer look not on a ODD,
but on a traditional spinning HDD. Our test bench will be hosting the Samsung Spinpoint F4 2TB hard drive for
some tests.

Not much to say and to show about the packaging of the hard
drive, it comes on a plastic case that holds the HDD, and it has 4 screws and a
quick installation manual that has information on how to install the hard disk,
it even has info for IDE hard drives but you want be needed this.
