Hard Drives...?

[BoS -SaBeR-]

I'm browsing hard drives again... my current external drive is giving me cyclic redundancy erros (whatever they are)... so, I think it's time to upgrade one of the internal ones.

I'm curious, is there a particular reason why Samsung drives are so much cheaper than WD? And why seagate more expensive than both?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...-053-SA&tool=3 - this looks like a total bargain, and very good reviews.

- Ditto with this, but a lot less space?

- And this, same thing, but cheaper... and with more cache? Am I missing something?

Why the weird differences in prices? Anyone?

nice , the 1TB sounds cheap i'd go for it without hesitating , so yea as you see the higher cache samsung is cheaper ,that makes no sense , but price difference between brands never made sense anyway ! lol

"cyclic redundancy erros " The hd is damaged...next thing will be strange clicking noise....then it dies

samsung harddrives are good quality drives, and they're are pretty quiet compared with harddisks from seagate and maxtor, i would go for samsung or western digital
