I haven't heard of that company before, so I can't say. But one reviewer says it uses Samsung drives, and that is a good thing.

where can i find this review?

On the page you linked. It's not a full "official" review, just some customer's comments, but for objective things that is usually good enough.

Other Thoughts: Doesn't use WD harddrives, instead mine had Samsung drives.

Of course, that doesn't mean the one you receive will have Samsung drives, I'm sure they use whatever they can get cheap.

the third review on the page had the customer sounding like he was disappointed the machine did not have WD drives - only had Samsung drives in them. huh!

I'd bet he doesn't have an SF nick.
