samsung make great hard drives. They're more reliable than seagate and WD these days.
500GB and 1TB will be the same in speed, more or less - the 500GB will just have less platters (and therefore, be quieter, cooler, and use slightly less power)
F3's are the fastest 7,200RPM drives on the market atm - go for it.

I was testing F3 1TB from a friend of mine when i was building him a rig. And that thing was faaaaast. It was going beyond 130MB/s sequential where my F1 750GB is not even hitting 100MB/s...

120-140MB/s on the first half of the disk, iirc. I'm planning on 2x500 in RAID for my OS/games at some point.

I've got two Samsung hard drives, 500 GB in a raid array which I have just taken out of a computer and replaced with a solid-state disk. In the raid array they were getting a read of 274 Mb per second and a write of 230 Mb per second. Very good speeds but they didn't seem to help in the load time.
Possibly I want to much but the solid-state drive seems to have about the same load time.
