Hi. About to buy a new hard disk for my computer and was set on the samsung spinpoint 1Tb F3 however i read in article to hold off from buying as there are new hard disks being released next month. What do you guys reckon, is it worth holding off - will they be better? Also is it worth buying SSD these days or are there still problems with them?

Cheers

maybe you looked at the caviar green by accident (that one is $200)

There's been problems w/ SSD's for sure but they are being worked out.....firmware updates coming out now must be a PITA for those that have to wipe their drives. Intel G1 owners who paid $650+ for their SSD's must be pissed that they won't be getting one but that's the price one pays on the bleeding edge.

I'm waiting till at least march before jumping in.....we are at TRIM 1.0 and I would rather wait for all the tweaks and such in the OS and firmwares before taking the plunge.
