The link you posted has an extra newline at the end.

Anyway, I had a WD drive 'go tits up' after a few weeks too, but then I had about six others that still work.

As for the deal, seems sound to me. Most places quote £61+ ex. VAT for that drive.

All these prices include delivery.

160gig - around £36
200 - around £40
250 - around £42
500 - around £72

EDIT: turns out it's the same drives just cheaper from EBuyer

I read a review on in Computer Shopper about Samsung Hard drives not only being very reliable, but being quicker than the rest at writing and reading.

Personally I stay away from anything that says Fujitsu and Hitachi. I was at 118UK when the infamous Fujitsu hard drive failures happened. In total I had to rebuild 580 machines each having to have customisations so I wasn't best pleased.

True. Samsung are quality drives, but you often pay a premium for that.
