I am in the market for a new HDD for a build I am ready to start. I had planned on getting a Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185
This drive has a good reputation, is fast, and is more than big enough for my needs. Problem is, reading the reviews it seems as though the quality has slipped lately. A lot of people seem to be having problems with it, either DOA or the drive dies in a month or two. Perhaps they shipped a bad batch.
Anyway, I was looking around to see what else might be available. I see that Newegg is listing this hard drive
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152238
It seems to be basically the same drive, spec wise anyway. Except it is $30 more. Is it an updated version of the F3 or is there something different about it? Anyone know anything about it?
