Spec me a 'Storage' HDD

[Liam]

I want to replace my 300GB HDD, the size just isn't cutting it anymore

Are these any good? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-097-SA

Cheers for any recommendations

Samsung are very good. But i would go for the new sata if you have a compatible mobo. Is 1tb enough? Because i would go for raid 1 if you have so much stuff

Uses 4k emulation iirc, there's been a couple threads about performance of the 2tb f4b. Grab either the seagate 2tb or, better, the wd green 2tb.

I wouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. Better to have several smaller drives than one big drive.

I would buy 2 1Tb or 1.5TB drives insted of one big one...

But what if all 6 of your SATA ports are full like me?

I use 500GB for OS and programes,1TG for data storage, and 2TB HDD for backing up everything.
Better safe than sorry !
So I use both small and large HDD's

If the 2TB fails, yikes!!

PC pro recommend the Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB HD103SJ Hard Disk Drive

I would have suspects the F4 to be very good; i have not come across mnay complains? But if in doubt get the samsung 1.5tb f2

that was said about 500GB, and 1TB drives

for me all my drives have been WD nad not had any problems

True any drive will be a lot too loose when it first comes out; only till we have 100MB broadband will a 2TB loss not scare me
