| Hey all, I'm thinking of starting a new build and I'm pretty confident with the components I've chosen accept this one: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=HD-053-SA Could anyone shed some light on it, ive heard its overkill and it has issues when re installing os's like xp/vista ??? I'll list the rest of the components once ive finished weighing them up for reassurance from you guys as i tend to over look compatibility. |

| Well, if it's cheaper..also, you have RAID capability, so while the probability of failure is the same, you won't lose all your data if it does.

| IMO the Samsung drives are more reliable than Maxtor. Also WD are better than Maxtor ..... in fact DONT get a Maxtor ;)

| Last time I looked I think two WD 500GB came out cheaper than a Samsung 1TB F1..

| remember, its not really a TB. they say 1 GB is 1000MB. its not. its 1024. so all those MB they lie about really add up. so convert it first to see how much your REALLY getting.
