| Post subject: | Internal Hard Drive |
I'm looking at getting a 1TB 7200rpm SATA II internal hard drive. Anyone here have any personal experience of them? I'm looking for reliability as it's going to be used as a backup drive. It'll only ever be connected when in use, the rest of the time it'll be stored. So, make? Model? I know what's available (though I fully expect to be told of a product I haven't heard of now I've said that) I'm just looking for personal experiences any of you lot may have had, good or bad.

I swear by Samsung Spinpoint F1s, but the F3 is supposedly even better. I'm very happy with all of mine. |

I shall be watching this with interest. I want to get 2x2TB drives for my MacPro and RAID them together to make a single 2TB drive that has redundancy. This is partly because this is what I want to do, and partly because I foresee a lot of data slowly coming my way and I want to be ready for it. |

I've got an older Samsung SpinPoint T (500GB) and it's pretty good so another vote for Samsung here. |

I've heard good things about the Samsung F3s. I've used a few F1s & maybe an F2 and they've been plenty good enough! |

Just so you know: http://www.scan.co.uk/TodayOnly/Index.aspx Have a look at the hard drives about a third of the way down. Today only is £57.56 for a F3 (third of the way down). Which is pretty good. Might help make a decision if you wanted to get one sooner rather than later. (especially if you have a discount for P&P) |

Ooh actually, just checked. Completely forgot that one of my 1TBs is an F3. Buy up. |

I'll not get it until I visit Edd though as Scan wanted to charge an extra £12 delivery to get it to me over here, so it's going to England instead and will be delivered to me by proxy. Mark |

Samsung Spinpoint F3 is rated highly. It seems to be the favoured choice and is supposedly fast too. The F1 before it was just as popular. |
