Recommendations on some fast but value oriented HDs

Hi all,

I'm looking to max out storage capacity for the following:

2x 3.5"
2x 2.5"

I'm going to be using 500gb HItachi 7200rpms for the 2.5", but I have not had anything to do Desktops for quite a while, so I'm pretty out of the loop for 3.5" HDs.

I've heard the Samsung Spinpoint F3 is a good choice... are there any others? The Spinpoints are not in stock Newegg.
 
WD blacks are good but are the most expensive desktop drives. If trying to save some money grab some new seagate 7200.12 drives, everyone is ragigng on them because of the 7200.11 issues but im running 8 7200.12 drives in my own and family computers and all have been running fine for 6-12 months. the single platter 7200.12's are really fast too.
