I just purchased an Ultra 4 from Provantage and more Samsung F4 drives from NewEgg; eight in all. I just couldn't resist that low price either. I've been running two of the F4 drives as a hardware RAID1 arrays in a new PC and have been pleased with how cool and noise free they are.

So glad to hear that you are having good luck with your drives. The 3-yr warranty and my past bad experience with a Samsung DLP TV made me think long and hard before going with their drives, but the reviews seem favorable and using them in RAID relieves most of my data loss worries should they die prematurely. It does make me nervous that they are not on Netgear's compatibility list. I don't see them listing drives that failed compatibility and/or are waiting to be tested, so it makes me wonder which category these fall into.
