You'd have to spend at least the tenner extra the one from tesco will cost you.

I have four of these in my Synology NAS and did have two of these in my main PC.
I cannot advise you strongly enough to keep away from these.
Out of the 6 Spinpoint 1TBs I bought (all within weeks of eachother), I have since sent 3 back as they've failed.
checkout the overclockers.co.uk forum and you will see similar reports.
They are the worst things I've ever bought

Not with postage and it's also a 16mb cache drive. The Samsung was a 32.
