Need advise about Samsung HDD

[Michael_R.]

I need two new HDDs for my new PC,
first I wanted to buy the Samsung Spinpoint 250gb harddrives (Samsung SP2504C), because I heard a lot good comments about it, but now I´ve just seen many people complaining, about that they are just bad, and that the quality within the serie totally differs, so if you have luck you get a good one, if not you had bad luck.

Does somebody know, if the problem is fixed right now?

Thx in advance

Michael

Why do you only want a Samsung? Check out the Seagates, those are very reliable.

I want a Samsung as they are really priceworth (250gb = 69€)
and their test results have been quite good

 

[Michael_R.]

or which HDD would you recommend, which is also cheap?

I personally recommend Seagate hard drives. They are high quality, 5 year warrenty. Haven't had problems with any of mine.

I dunno what that is in Germany though.

I'm not saying Samsung are bad, though, just saying there are other brands besides Samsung that are good.

hum, thx for the barracuda Types, are also quite cheap in Germany
65€ for 250gb

You'll be very happy with a Seagate. They are very good quality drives.
