L1ght · 2 Nov 2009 at 12:27

I'm in the market for a new 1TB hard drive. I want to get the Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB but seems like their sold out....Any ideas on any other good 1TB's?
Is the Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB supposed to be as good as the black version? Any help really appreciated, cheers guys

I need a hard drive as well, but I'll wait for the Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB to come back in stock.

You could consider the Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB - cheaper and uses 500Gb platters but only 3 year warranty compared to 5 year for the WD.

The Greens are more a storage drive - slower and more economical with power.

The F3 is a good bit quicker than the Black, it's the one to have.

Sweet I'll snap up the f3, this hard drive will be used for games/storage.
