Looking to get a 1TB or 1.5TB hard drive for my boyfriend for his birthday.
However, I am torn on whether to buy a Seagate, Western Digital or a Samsung. I've heard from reliable people that Seagate is the brand to buy, but judging by NewEgg.com reviews, this is not so. I was told that Seagates had a problem but have fixed their firmware... but there are 5-10 negative (0 stars for either DOA or failure within a month) reviews in the past month on their 1.5TB hard drives.
However, I've had 2 people tell me their horrible experiences with failures with Western Digital drives too. Like I said, NewEgg.com shows very few failures for the Samsung and WD drives.
I don't want to buy a crap hard drive for him. I'm so unsure of what to buy... what is your experience? What should I get? I would also prefer to not spend more than $139.
Thanks in advance =)
