Hi

Looking to add more space to my system, so gonna add a 1TB hard drive. Bought a Samsung Spinpoint for computer at work, but it kept giving SMART errors, so trying to avoid that one.

Which hdd is worth the money?

I'll be the first... I have two Samsung F1 1TB in Raid 1, and they are excellent. All hard drive manufacturers have very similar failure rates.. However if you don't want another Samsung, then you can't go wrong with either the WD or seagate

Its either samsung of the WD green powers atm for price. £69.99 for the samsung and £70.18 for the WD green powers if you look around. I got my eye on 2 of the WD for that price, although I was hoping for a 1.5TB WD drive (seagate ones meant to be noisy

)
