People seem to have nitpicked all kinds of problems with the high capacity drives. The WD Greens have the high LCC, the Seagate LP's for their low head park ratings, the Hitachi for the high heat from 5 platters. I haven't heard anything really troubling about the Samsungs, but then again, it's a relatively new drive so maybe people haven't found faults with it.

To be honest, I'd take some of the reviews with a grain of salt. It's a given that there's going to be a few bad drives in every batch. I think it's more the manufacturers commitment to resolving the issue that's the deciding factor here.
