I will need a new hard drive soon (my current 80GB hard drive just doesn’t seem enough!)

I'm contemplating between the following laptop hard drives


Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD5000BEVT 8MB 500GB
Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD5000BEVT 8MB 500GB
Samsung SpinPoint M7 HM500JI 8MB 500GB


I think the Samsung would be the best bet due to its increased transfer speeds... but do correct me if I’m wrong?

Cheers all :D

833677 2009-11-26 01:36:00 Nope. Western Digital and Seagate are the 2 best brands. pctek (84)

833680 2009-11-26 08:56:00 Not sure about modern lappies .

But are they still picky in terms of what brand / models HDDs are supported by the laptop model?
