Are these both the same Hard Drive?

Question

I have decided to get the samsung 500gb hard drive, but I was looking at ebuyers and amazons products and i'm pretty sure they are the same product but im not 100% sure. Mainly because it doesnt say F1, whereas amazon also have another product that does mention F1, but its from amazon sellers, rather than amazon itself

I'd prefer to go the amazon route because I have a £2.50 voucher, but need to make sure that the amazon hard drive is the same as the ebuyer one

Answer 1

yes they are the same though there is some misinformation and one bad picture in there.  One of the amazon links shows the picture of a laptop drive and the other shows a standard internal desktop drive like the ebuyer pic.  One states sata2 and the other sata300 which i suppose you could interpret 300mbps as being sata2.  If you are shopping for a desktop drive then just to be safe go with the amazon link that shows sata300
