Which HHD

[compute]

I don't mind about the prices... just which is better? I also don't care about the 500GB storage difference

Western Digital RE4 WD5003ABYX 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb
Model #: WD5003ABYX
$85

OR

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb
Model #: HD103SJ
$109 (I believe the prices are higher than usual because of the floods in thailand)

Spec's wise they're pretty much the same(the F3 is slightly faster),so my vote goes for the Samsung one

yeah thanks... i'm thinking of leaning towards samsung

but on newegg samsungs ratings 9% (lots of problems, but then again lots of good reviews) buy and WD 44% (all good except DOA's)

quick question would you know if SSD screws are different from HDD screws?
I've got ODD/FDD (M3*5) screw, but i'm not sure if they will fit in the Crucial M4 SSD 128GB

WD drives are more reliable. I have never owned a Smasung HDD so can comment on their part.

I'd say WD is more reliable too, but Samsung is a little faster,

but u will never notice that : )

You can use the same screws.
