I admit it, I'm a huge Samsung fanboi when it comes to storage. I've got one of their new SSDs here ready to install and all of my HDDs are Samsung. Spinpoint might as well be my middle name.
I know it's a gross oversimplification, but now Samsung aren't in the HDD game any more, what should I be buying now?
I read that Seagate bought them up and are still manufacturing the drives, but are they really still as good? If so, which part numbers should I be looking for if I'm in the market for larger (2TB and over) drives? I don't mind getting 5400 RPM if needs be.
Surely the warranties offered by the manufacturers tell the story? Samsung had a 5 year warranty on my oldest drive and latterly were still giving 3 years cover, but as far as I can see, 1 year is now commonplace?
Thanks,
Paul
