Fast yes, but from where do they get the chipsets? - I know that they 
make some chipsets themselves, but also that they buy pre-made 
components for most of their SSDs - just like OWC does it. If I 
understand the OWC descriptions most of their shipsets are from either 
Crucial or TechWorks. - And both Samsung and OWC have a variety of 
different models - right from very cheap to very expensive.

Yes, now Samsung don't make harddisks anymore after they've sold their 
HD division to the Seagate-WesternDigital concern. - I have indeed 
earlier on seen too many Samsung SpinPoint HDs simply just break down so 
people have lost all their data - and that on both Macs and Win-based PCs.

The first year or so after Seagate-WesternDigital bought the Samsung 
division, Seagate - obviously also bought the already made SpinPoint 
discs, since Seagate sold some discs under the name "Seagate SpinPoint" 
to apprx. half the price of what a similar real Seagate disc would cost. 
- Here in Denmark we could buy such a "Seagate SpinPoint" 2tb disc for 
as little as apprx. £30 where the std. 2tb ST2000007AS would cost nearly 
£60...

Cheers, Erik Richard
