    Some of us (not Zepto owners) are having problems with a slow data transfer rate for the first ~50GB of a Samsung HM250JI HDD. The problem is discussed in this thread.

    I see that Zepto is offering this HDD as an option. Can anyone who has the HM250JI check that it is running correstly using HD Tune or HD Tach and then report back whether or not you have a problem (and give details of your computer's chipset / HDD controller).

    Thanks,

    John
