I only want to have one drive, and my 150gb Raptor X just isn't enough. I bought a 640gb WD Black, but it had stability issues, so I am sending it back to newegg. I don't think I want to try my luck with another, so what do you guys think of this:

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152181

It's a single platter 500gb hard drive :O Should I get it? Thanks in advance mates
