Samarium-cobalt types are not being used all the time unlike the neodymium types since they are more expensive and not strong enough. Furthermore, they are even breakable and fragile. The neodymium form was made around 1980s just about a decade after the invention of earth magnets and they are being integrated in the computer hard drive and speakers of stereo.Since these are being used everywhere, the price of these kinds of magnets went down and these days, they are just being used for the toys.
