Which drive? How much does it cost?

Hmmm... I visited a hardware dealer just a few minutes ago. The prices for
comparable drives (same size, same rpm) from different brands only differ by
a few Euros (Euro is a currency in Europe, 1 EUR ~ 1.2 US$). Samsung's
SV-series runs at 5400rpm, while their SP-series rotates at 7200rpm. I am
not sure if the suffix "H" is a sign for a very expensive drive. A drive
with a size of 160 GB costs around 90 - 110 EUR in Germany, regardless of
the brand.
