Solve : Which hard drive to purchase?? |
|
Answer» I am planning on building a gaming PC with a budget of around $900, I have chosen the Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics card, Intel Core i5-2500K processor and the MSI P67A-GD55 motherboard. Now I'm just choosing which hard drive to get. Of the hard drives linked below, which one do you think is a better deal? The last one. The Samsung. Buy it! Trust me.No, you really want the Samsung. Samsung 1TB Spinpoint F1. The other two drives are models that are being closed out by the makers. The Samsung is a current production. There are at least a dozen on-line stores that have it in stock. Check around. Are you in Australia? At leas a dozen stores down under had them in stack earlier. Try: www.gocomp.com.au The say it is in stock. Quote from: Geek-9pm on January 07, 2012, 02:19:14 AM The other two drives are models that are being closed out by the makers.How is that necessarily bad, though? Though I'd agree with the recommendation since the drive is a lot bigger. Though I can't say I've heard an awful lot positive for Samsung drives.The Samsung drive: 1. has more space 2. has a 3 year warranty BC_programmer and OP, Take a look at want Seagate says about Samsung. http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2135571/seagate-predicts-revenue-demand Not much positive about Samsung. In tests and REVIEWS it comes in second place. Being second place in a tough market is not all that bad. The reason they RUN out of stock is because people were buying them like hot bread when the price dropped. The price drop was not related to production issues. Quote Seagate acquired Samsung's hard drive business last year in a deal that was closed on 19 December. Source: The Inquirer (http://s.tt/156FB) same as above. Holy cow, did someone just recommend Samsung? Hope it comes with a 3 year warranty. You'll need it. go Western Digital or Seagate. There's no substitute. Since Seagate purchased them they have cut the warranties almost in 1/2... Full STORY...Get the Samsung, the warranty is always important. Is it an EMERGENCY, if not just wait for the Samsung to be back in stock. If I had to choose a different one, I would choose the Western Digital. |
