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 .. 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..

 

[NIGHTMARE]

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.
