7K1000.D 1TB vs. hd103sj
What is better?
Hitachi is much cheaper.
I have the Samsung drive and I love it.

 

[rolli59]

I have trust in both manufacturers so I would select on price alone.

 

[adamdbz]

But in performance which drives is better?

 

[rolli59]

Any performance difference between the two would be not noticeable but the Hitachi is newer and SATA 6GB while the Samsung F3 is a very good and Fast SATA 3GB drive. No Mechanical hard drive is capable to max out the SATA 3GB interface.

 

[adamdbz]

I just read that the Hitachi drive breaks some call it the “death star”
What do you think?

 

[rolli59]

I belief that is an old problem inherited at the time from IBM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitachi_Deskstar

 

[adamdbz]

so will it work for a long time?

 

[rolli59]

It has the same chance as any other drive!
