I planned to buy one of this Samsung hhd:
Newegg.com - SAMSUNG Spinpoint F4 HD204UI 2TB 5400 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
But i read this:
SamsungF4EGBadBlocks ? smartmontools
Were you aware of that?
The problem seems to be serious, and the fix Samsung released doesn't seems to be well tested..
.
Would you buy it anyway?
The price is really good and for storage (external in my case) it should perform well.

Tsunade_Hime such bacon. wow
If you don't feel the fix seems tested then don't buy it.
Judging by people who bought the drive it seems okay. A DOA/problem hard drive can happen with any manufacturer. -
I love mine. I haven't heard of any problems with the fix.
