[M a d c o w]

Hi everyone

Need suggestion purchashing 1TB 2TB HD base on quality & reliability Micro-Center has good pricing on OEM's for under 80 and Frys has also about the same price but NIB.

Brands are Seagate Barracuda's and Hitachi's

@ Fry's / Hitachi 1TB Serial ATA 300 / 7200 Rpm
Seagate 2TB / Serial ATA/300 / 32MB Buffer @ 99.00

Base on my Sig below, what recommendation.is good to get the performance on my new PC Rig

Thanks in advance

Newegg has been running a $54 Samsung 1TB f3 special for a while. At that price this is hard to beat.

Edit: Looks like it ended yesterday but there are similar offers at other online sites:

i wanna pick one up today so i can finally use my external drive as back up.

Edit**

nvm just answered my own question. the one at frys is recertified

I'd get the F3 over an older WDC green that was recirtified.

preformance wise the 1tb F3 is way better than my 500 gig WD black
C= Intel x-25M, E=1tb Samsung F3, F=500gig WD Black, G= 1tb External via esata (LaCie)
