Question Any one used the Samsung 500gb sata?

Newegg has a Samsung 500gb sata II drive available and I was wondering if any one has any experience with this drive. If so please coment on the noise factor. Also, the reviews on Newegg indicate it is a little slow. Would/does this drive's speed have a negative impact on the series 3 operation? Any comments will be appreciated!

I doubt the drive speed would matter. One of my DirecTV HDTiVos has two 5400RPM drives(a 300GB and a 250GB) and the performance is identical to my other two HDTiVos, both with two 250GB 7200rpm drives.
