which hard disk is best?

Samsung has been really reliable for me so far. Ive used my 80gb drive for nearly 4 years now. Ive really rough handled it and i haved had a single problem.

This should have been in q&a though.

Western Digital or Seagate. Go for WD.

Seagate

seagate .. i dont recommend samsung storage devices .... cd-roms, hdd .... only monitors are worth buying ... my personal experience

Segate. Old 20 year HDD of segate is still working! Can you believe this?

Actually samsung HDDs are quite good.I have used 2 smasungs and they are very good.
Currently using seagate 250GB.Good overall but noisy.

GO for Western Digital...WD2500KS...
I am using this 250GB SATA2 hard disk with 16MB buffer and it is excellent...
Noise is low...it didnt above 24 degrees on full load throughout the winters...
In summers it doesnt go above 35 degrees or so...
I am completely satisfied with it and also western digital offers door to door warranty service...

Western Digital minimum crash rate (0 %)

but WD is costlier than seagate... also seagate performs well enuf..

i think rate r equal or difference about 100 to 50 rupees

I think WD is better. I have got an old Samsung HD which has started developing bad sectors.

hey any known how to increase ur HD RPM and storage capacity

Western digital is the best with good customer care service, as i hav heard.

How much does it cost?.

WD America's No.1 selling Hard Disk Drive Brand and home delivery for ur replacement Hard Disk

WD hdds-does it have good service networks OR like seagate we need 2 wait for weeks

Seagate...

Hitachi is the one for me

HITACHI

been using it for 14+ months, never experienced a Bad Sector, data corruption....

even though my PC suffered 20+ power cuts.

Hitachi all the way!

Dude Hdd is Hdd !It has a performance hour uptill than it works fine it's in 3 lakh or something!!

Look around and get info whose service center is nearer to you and go for it!

I have seagate and samsung both companies hdd!
Seagate makes little noise but thats ok!
it's a trusted name when comes to HDD!

Go for Hitachi.... it is working fine in my case.... but slightly noisy.

Hope you don't landup into any troubles. samsung is the worst at present. If you have any trouble, remeber me.

Western Cavier Digital (Best but costly)
Hitachi Dextar (No probs, I am using it)
Samsung (Any1 can rely on it)
Seagate (Never, excessive heating)

in 8o gb Hitachi Deskstar 7k80
in 160 gb SamsungSpinpoint 160jj (sksing quoted the price above)

this is on the basis of reviews of CHIP .

Western Digital is my choice.

Seagate is best , iam using seagate 20 GB for 6 yrs . No problems till now

I agree that Seagate "was" great in till 80GB IDE n till 160GB SATA 1 or 2 but above that best bet is WD ot HITACHI. Don't ever go for Samsung, Serviece is real bad. This comes from my personal Exp. Was big fan of Seagate, Once i bought a SATA 2 300GB , I had to replace it 4 times. Too much of heat, Noise, not stable also.

Hitachi or WD is the way to go. Both offer service at your doorstep.

Samsung and Seagate both are the are the best, my friend.
