Best current HDD?

Telecaster · 2 Sep 2012 at 16:25

Looking for a 1TB or possibly a 2TB for internal storage.

I currently use a 64gb SSD for the OS and a couple of games, with a host of external drives for storage cluttering the place up, I want an internal drive so I can tidy things up a bit, which are considered the safest bet at the minute?

samsung f3 1tb is best imo,there are slightly faster drivers but ?? on their reliability

Any clue as to the best 3TB+ one?

i dont know on 3tb,id suggest seagate but ive seen a spate of failures on their 2tb drives lately,idk what the hitachi are like

can recommend the samsung f4 2tb though,currently have 3 of those

im such a samsung fanboy

but they do make great drives

I've got 2 of them Samsungs already

Great drives but they're just not big enough any more, so have to switch to 3TB+. I've just been waiting for prices to get reasonable again.

It's a shame Samsung sold their hard drive division to Seagate.

Will have a look at the Seagate drive, thanks.

I have a Seagate, I am say, I am astonished at its performance.

I assume you're astonished in a good way?

The Samsung F4 2tb is an excellent drive, if you can find one. The latest stock are actually Seagate drives in disguise.

newest stock are seagates yes,but they are built the same as the samsung f4's,as in they are identical design
