Re: Samsung spinpoint or Western Digital HDD?

I've had WD fail and wasn't too impressed by their RMA as few years back. That said, I would pick between those two drives if I was getting a 500GB drive. I don't think you can go wrong either way. If it was up to me, I would go AAKS for an OS drive, and T166 as a storage drive. If the price gap is comparatively large (I rarely see the AAKS for under £60 and have in a few instance seen the T166 for £50 - it may only be a tenner, but still close to 17%), then I would go for the cheaper. I only need one drive for OS/application anyway.
