My 1 TB is full so I would like to upgrade. I think I would like a 2(or 3) TB one. Looking for speed first and reliability second. I would like to buy from Amazon. Can someone recommend one for me?

I was looking at this from Newegg(the only 2 TB drive they had):

SAMSUNG Spinpoint M9T ST2000LM003 2TB 5400 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

Here are a couple from Amazon:

Samsung Seagate HN-M201RAD Momentus SpinPoint ST2000LM003 2TB 2.5-Inch SATA III Notebook Hard Drive 9.5MM

Western Digital Bare Drives 2TB WD Green SATA III Intellipower 8 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Hard Drive WD20NPVX

I'm not sure what to get... Thanks for any help.

Hey there, chedderslam1976.

I just want to make one note here. The WD20NPVX (WD Green Mobile drive), although it's a pretty nice HDD, it is not suitable for laptops and notebooks, as its height is 15mm and standard laptop drives have to be 9.5mm (or less for ultrabooks 7mm). It just won't fit.

Cheers!
