Samsung V Wester Digital Hard Drive, Which One?

[vicar]

I am just about to purchase The Thecus Yes nano, and i am trying to figure out which hard drive to go for.

Have limited my search to (1) 80 Gb Samsung MP0804H SpinPoint M40 and (2) 60 Gb Western Digital WD600VE Scorpio all note book Hds.

Concerned about heat, reliability and noise. Any idea on which one to go for and i am open to suggestions. Nothing above £55.00. All the above items are listed on Scan.

Many Thanks

The Samsung's are cheap, fast and quiet and definately get my vote. They've got a design life of 5 years.

Second that. I've heard nothing but praise for the Samsungs. Haven't heard anything negative about the WD drives either though but Samsung seems the way to go.

Thank you all for the advice, i will be ordering the sam sung tomorrow as they are now closed.

I ordered WD but thats only because it was on a today only offer, i'd pretty much go with the cheapest hehe
