Anyways, Im looking for a 2TB Internal hard drive.
It should be 7200rpm.
Most important factor: Reliability

I would just get the WD blue. They cost way less and perform almost as well. I have a couple blues in my one computer and they're actually pretty damn fast for spinning disc drives. This is running in RAID 1, too, which means it's all going through the crappy Intel RAID controller, too. Ran a quick benchmark for you.

Hi there PCBuilderMonster,

Reliability is hard to define. Sometimes, you may just lucky/unlucky when getting some kind of hardware. The only way, I can think of, to measure reliability of a given product is the warranty. You can check out the WD Black which huilun02 already suggested. The WD Black line offers 7200 RPMs, up to 4TB and 5 years of limited warranty.

Hope this will help,
