need new hard drive (1 or 1.5tb), recommendations?
by pianoplayer88key - 7/10/09 8:21 PMHey all... I'm just about out of space on my current HDDs, so it's time to get a larger drive. I'd like to get a 1.5TB Drive, but if they're not as reliable as the 1TB drives I'd consider one of those instead. The ones I'm looking at are the Western Digital WD10EADS (1TB Green), WD1001FALS (1TB Black) or WD15EADS (1.5TB Green). I am a bit wary of Seagate right now due to all the negative reviews I've read.
What would you all recommend?
Also, when I do get one, what should I do with my old 80GB IDE WD drive? It's still working fine, but I'll probably have no use for it.
Here are some options . . . see link below

Drives in the 400 to 800GB however seem much more attractively priced per GB and frankly....I think I'd rather have two smaller drives 640GBs, 750GBs giving more disk space and a separate drive for backup than everything on 1 drive and no backup.
