I'm looking to add a backup hard drive for my newish Windows 7 system. I want at least 1 TB and it will be used only for backups and storage in a Rosewill RX-358 V2 (power saving patch applied) external enclosure. This enclosure connects via eSata and is Sata 3 (6.0Gb/s) capable.
I've found a drive that I think will serve my purposes well and would like any opinions or suggestions about this drive:
Western Digital Caviar Green WD15EZRX 1.50 TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
This drive is on sale and I can pick it up for $70 (w/free shipping).
TIA for responses
Edit: Although the hard drive listed above is a Sata III (6.0Gb/s) drive the enclosure interface is only Sata I/II. The eSata input on my motherboard is connected to a Sata III header. Don't think this will really have much effect on my decision.
Edit: I've purchased the WD Green HDD. Trying to change it from a discussion to a question so that I can mark it as Solved.
