I'm currently looking for a 3TB storage drive for my home PC and the ST3000VX000 seems like the ideal drive for my needs. It is (hopefully) more reliable than a regular consumer drive and comes with a 3 year warranty while being only 10-15% more expensive (price has been a bit unstable lately).
I intend to use it to store and/or download anything really. My PC is on daily for 16 hours on average.
The only thing I'm uncertain about is the fact that it's a "surveillance-optimised" drive. I've read that these types of drives usually have worse error correction since that can be detrimental when recording several video streams, however the SV35 series seems to have the same rate as Barracuda drives. Are there any reasons against getting this instead of a 2 year warranty consumer drive?
