Budget of about 750. Thanks

Nothing wrong with it, it looks very solid. I would get yourself some decent thermal paste though if you don't already have some.

Would swap the HDD for THIS.

Then you should be set to go

No its not.

The only difference i see is more space and bigger cache more warranty how is the F3 better?

Exactally,
he is just a sammy fanboy

Didaco · 31 Dec 2009 at 21:02

ok better i cant argue better because i dont know about how reliable they are,
but i do know the sammy is faster due to it being a single 500gb platter as opposed to smaller multiple platters 2*320gb.
EDIT: no i is not a sammy fan boy

Ohh you are so wrong my friend.

2 x 320gig platters are slightly faster than a single 500gig platter.

Fact.

I sugest you read up a bit more before giving wrong advice

im not trying to start an arguement
im just trying to help and yes i have done my reading

looking at that the F3 just edges it over the caviar black

Kennysevenfold · 31 Dec 2009 at 21:14

Just one review?

The WD would be my choice for the extra warrenty, 140gig and double the cache.

there are average read and writes for a bunch of drives
i will agree in that WD have a better track record when it comes to reliability
but i would vote for the samsung it is quite popular im sure many would vouch for its performance

I think that the difference between them won't be noticeable.You can get the WD if you want higher disk capacity but the F3 will run cooler and more silent that the WD.
