Hard drive for games.

[kris123456]

Hello.
I am going to buy 1TB hdd for games to put on.
I dont know what to choose : samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB... or... 1TB Seagate BarraCuda ES.2 ST31000340NS 7200 RPM 32MB...or WD green 1TB?
Each one is used and costs 20-25 eur.
Thanks.

I wouldn't advise buying a used HDD as it may be only days away from failing, it could have several bad sectors from previous use, you've no idea how long it's been used or what kind of treatment it's had.

Never buy any second-handed HDD.
Basta!

Yes but what about the pictures? For me these pics dont tell nothing.

it will be damaged from inside ... bad sectors are physical damage on the plates that save the data . they cant be seen from outside.
