i am already using WD Green and Seagate barracuda bought 250gb HDD. for me they bought fail once so i got them replace. using green as c and d drive. meaning all my downloading and regular watching movies, streaming is done on green. but it feels little click.
seagate is my secondary for only storages as for some reason it makes lot of clicking noise.
and i have checked them both as there health are ok.

but now toshiba is here too. so i am wondering which one

Honorable
go with the cheapest if it is to fail its more about luck both three companies are reliable.i own a seagate 1 tb and it is silent and does not heat as mutch as a caviar blue does.toshiba on the otherhand bought ocz recently to make ssd's.western digital is one of the most known in rock solid reliability although i have seen green drives failing.if disaster strikes you cant avoid it.although there are sshd's that are hdd with 8gb of flash memory and provide more responsiveness thann hdd but they are not as fast as a ssd.instaled one the other day and i was quite amazed on the boot time it offered.only 20 euro more.

2 point for Toshiba.
and just found out that seagate is giving 2 yrs but 1+1 and toshiba is through distributor not officially here :(
and Tosihiba is 32mb cache only while seagate n WD is 64 cache.

SSHD i think maybe seagate have it in 2tb here. not sure but i will first find out and decide. so far i am deciding for seagate as its read that its benchmark is better than toshiba for these models.
