I'm looking for a 3 platter 1TB HD for my second drive. I want something quiet, cool and fast but most importantly reliable when considering the amount of data I will be storing on it. I will back up the most important data on a second 320GB drive I have but that won't back up all of it.
Basically I want to know what is the best choice for a 1TB drive right now. I haven't found any recent articles comparing the new models, just the recent article on samsung drives.
So currently considering :
Samsung Spinpoint F, HD103UJ 1TB
Western Digital Caviar GP WD10EACS 1TB
HITACHI Deskstar 7K1000 HDS721010KLA330 (0A35155) 1TB
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31000340AS 1TB
I hope these are the most current models, let me know if they aren't.
Also is a price drop expected soon with the introduction of the 1.5TB drives?
