#samsung_story_station I'd buy it if they offered eSATA (need it for sound recording), but all current Samsung external drives are USB 2.0 and they do not specify HDD RPM. They do offer Story Station Plus with eSATA. Problem is that at least on US website on the external hard drives overview page all products classified as USB 2.0, but when you click on individual products, you may find out otherwise.
