I am considering of purchasing a hitachi deskstar 1tb, but since seagte and samsung are preparing their 1tb, i am curious which 1tb hard disk is the best: in terms of speed temps and noice.
 
The Seagate is at least a fortnight away, the Samsung a couple of months if not three. Neither the Hitachi or the Seagate are slow, both should be comfortably quicker than any other 7200rpm drive out there. The Samsung however, if reports are to be believed, will be something else entirely. The data density is reported as being of the order of 340Gb per platter, the Hitachi is 200Gb, the Seagate possibly 250Gb. If that's true then the Samsung will be fast on a whole different level.
 
If you can wait then wait, otherwise if you need it now then go with the Hitachi.

As many people have said in threads, with PC's whenever you buy something there is something better being released shortly.
