Which would you get?
Have been offered 130 back for my WD and then leaves me to buy a Samsung or a WD again?
Which would you get the Green Peace one or the F1 one?

Many people have had issues with the Samsungs dying, hence they are so cheap at the minute....
hmm, ok
I love my WD FYPS GPs in RAID5, can't really say anything, no array dropping, great speed and very little noise, not to mention cool running.
I would however bought the samsungs if I knew they're coming down to double-digit price :S.
The WD GPs are considerably slower than the F1 due to lower spindle speed. But I run RAID5 so speed is not very important for me.
Samsung, 6 so far and still going :)
If the F1's came out when I needed some space I'd have gotten them.
It's these particular Samsungs that are the problem:
Newegg.com - SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 HD103UJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives
Unless they have sorted the issues :mrgreen:
Yeah Newegg's User Reviews are always worth a look. Quite good at pinpointing when a particular piece of kit has a problem.
Does that go the same for the 750Gb Samsung F1? I 've had mine 1 week...
was looking to purchase the 1tb f1, not so sure now hopefully they've sorted the problems out
