What hardisk for home server 24/7 as data storage

[rado3105]

I have server, where I have many datas and this server is accesible on my network for various users as samba, ftp..I want it to be 1TB or more. It must be Western Digital. Which hardisk do you recommned. Now I have there WD RE-2GP(WD1000FYPS).

Get another Enterprise drive like their RE3 or RE4. No matter how good hard disks are, I presume that regular backups are performed.

The problem is that I cant find any RE-GP except 2TB model which is very expensive. And I need gp for low noise and low power consumption. I just find 10eads and 15eads and they seem like regular disks.

Your post said "I want it to be 1TB or more. It must be Western Digital."
I don't know where you are, but the 1TB RE3 drives are easy to find in North America: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136313&cm_re=re3-_-22-136-313-_-Product

Unfortunately a 1TB RE3-GP is not available and, as you said, the RE4-GP is rather expensive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136365&Tpk=WD%20RE4-GP
