My local computer store is having a deal on Samsung harddrives, are they any good? I have one that has lived through 2 computers and its only just got a few bad sectors. Whats your opinion?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Yes I love Samsung drives. Especially the new SpinPoints with the fluid dynamic bearings, slim profile design, and the 3 year warranty. I use them all the time in system builds with no problems as of yet.

3 year warantee (other manufacturers are only one year now!?)

and as soon as someone actually demonstrates an advantage derived from the 133MB/s burst rate
over the 100MB/s burst rate in a benchmark, it would be a "con"
till then its still just hype
the interface speed has nothing to do with the sustained transfer
the or the access time, it simply applies to how fast the cache transfers the data once its filled,
in short for benchmarks and real world use,
it makes very very little to no difference
a larger cache if available will have far more impact
