Need help choosing best hard drives for Windows Home Server - home server and media server. Was going to go with western digital reds. Is there any considerations to age between 2 and 3 TB.

The 3TB will take longer to slow down. As a HDD fills up more, it gets slower, so the 3TB will be faster for the longest. :)

Edit: If it wasn't so expensive, I'd say make the server drives all SSDs :p
