Samsung F3 Differences?

[mattyy]

Hi,

Im looking to buy a new 1tb drive and ive heard good things about the samsung drives.

Ive noticed that there are two 1tb F3 drives around at the minute, one of them being on offer and £5 cheaper...

What are the differences? apart from the speed of the drive. I'm not worried about speed/performance I just want a realiable drive.

Are there any reasons to spend the extra for the dearer drive?

The drives in question;

7200 is regular desktop drive speed (normal)
5400 is laptop / power saving speed (slow)

speed is the only difference afaik.

you should get the 7200 version unless there's a specific reason not to.
