Re: which hard disk is best?
Samsung has been really reliable for me so far. Ive used my 80gb drive for nearly 4 years now. Ive really rough handled it and i haved had a single problem.
This should have been in q&a though.

Western Digital or Seagate. Go for WD.

Re: which hard disk is best?
Actually samsung HDDs are quite good.I have used 2 smasungs and they are very good.
Currently using seagate 250GB.Good overall but noisy.

Re: which hard disk is best?
GO for Western Digital...WD2500KS...
I am using this 250GB SATA2 hard disk with 16MB buffer and it is excellent...
Noise is low...it didnt above 24 degrees on full load throughout the winters...
In summers it doesnt go above 35 degrees or so...
I am completely satisfied with it and also western digital offers door to door warranty service...

Re: which hard disk is best?
I think WD is better. I have got an old Samsung HD which has started developing bad sectors.

Dude Hdd is Hdd !It has a performance hour uptill than it works fine it's in 3 lakh or something!!
Look around and get info whose service center is nearer to you and go for it!

Seagate makes little noise but thats ok!

Re: which hard disk is best?
Western Cavier Digital (Best but costly)
Hitachi Dextar (No probs, I am using it)
Samsung (Any1 can rely on it)
Seagate (Never, excessive heating)
