Help with choosing a new hard drive.

Hi,

I think that my second Samsung F1 320 Gb is about to die on me. What is the best replacement drive. I don't want to go SSD as I will be giving this machine to my younger brother who will only use it for web browsing and solitare. It is not the rig in my spec as this is my new one.

I origininally picked this drive as it is a single platter and there for a bit faster. 500 Gb would be more than plenty.

What are your recommendations?

Not 500GB but the Samsung F4 is a cracking drive.

I would go with this. Cheap, good performance and capacity.

This. Unless you need the extra space.
