I run a 500GB SSD for the system and programs.

All my files and storage is located on an older SATA II WD 1TB, and i'm retiring that drive.

I'm going to upgrade to a 2TB SATA III

I need help deciding which of these two to get

ST2000NM0033 -or- WD2003FZEX

Thanks in advance!

To answer your question, I think the WD black is likely to be the better drive.

If you are retiring the drive because of reliability, then by all means do so.

If it is for performance, consider building your "C" drive on a SSD. It is one of the best performance upgrades you can make.
120gb at least, 240gb if you can.
