No chance you could go for a WD green? In our house we have 5 of them and they've been nothing but perfect. First one was brought about a month after it was released, still runs perfectly.

Can't vouch for any of the ones you've listed sorry.

I'd spend the extra $10 and go with the Samsung.

I'll let the benches speak for themselves.

*edit*
damn, now that i've looked at them and seen the price, i want!

ya the Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ is looking ok.

That's the exact one we have. I prefer WD over other companies simply because I've found them to be more reliable. You should probably disregard my opinion because of this fanboy basis
