Cheapest 1TB Samsung F3 HDD?

Oh damn lol, Still got my old IDE drive 80GB so I'll use that for now :). Would it start going down by early next year??. if so I'll buy it then.Just checked prices some of them about £100 which is insane.

Yeah, Q1 or Q2 next year.

Depending on how much gaming you planning on doing over next few months.

You old IDE HDD will definitely affect your gaming performance hugely, and I'm not sure if you motherboard still got IDE connection at all. I know the HDD became double the price is a VERY bitter pill to swallow, but if I was in your position, I would just bite the bullet and get the Samsung F3 now than letting my gaming suffer.

I see a seller on the famous auction site selling a new F3 1TB for £65, I'd grab that right now if I were you. Do bare in mind that buying from private seller would mean you might not get warranty cover, but for the sake of saving £25...it would worth it.

Yeh I planning to game quite a bit, I think I just saw one for £61. Can you tell me if possible how would it affect games if I use IDE HDD(oh I have an ID to SATA converter since there are no IDs on my new mobo)

cheers and KD what do you mean by MM? :)
 
wow!!!

What's going on! I read the title and thought... Eh? That's easy they're all 40 quid! I then had a google and they're 70 quid at the cheapest (except one place which was still 40 quid) All major retailers have hiked the price up.

I actually have a spare F3 1TB sitting from an RMA a few months back that I have never used. Might stick it on the MM now.
 
Buchanan, it's because of the floods in Thailand - check Latest news.

MM is Members Market - read the FAQ - pretty sure you qualify, you just need to turn on your Trust (click the trust button underneath your post) then it should be authorised within 24 hours

Can any1 tell me if external hard drves work the same as internal?? is it good for installing/storing games on that?

cheers
 
Right I've gone for one that is

2TB
5900 rpm
SATA III
3.0 Gb/s
Buffer Memory 32 MB?

is there much difference having 7200 RPM over 5900 RPM?

thx
 
internal are generally better for normal usage, external are usually for backups.

if its the samsung f4 thats fine, don't worry about the speed.
