Are these the best SATA drives out?

Seems some of the Samsungs are having problems

A great deal more Samsungs are sold so greater numbers of problems will be reported. Apparently the failure rate is the same.

I have two of the 1TB versions which are pretty sweet.

I thought that maybe WD had a better reputation ?

Im not big on Hard drives though, I must say.

The WD's have two years more warranty than the F1's, make what you will of that. I have one and it's lovely...

The Black is also faster.

The WD Blacks cost £30-45 more than the Samsung's. IMO the minuscule speed difference and extra warranty really isn't worth that.
