Which HDD should I get?

[Eeglis]

I'm looking for a 7200RPM HDD. I'm looking for something reliable that'd last for few years. I've used my Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM HDD for a bit over 2 and a half years and it's starting to fall apart. What would you guys recommend to replace it with?

[SPAS-ID]

WD Black/Blue

WD Black

Not really. Most of the time it's only $10-$20 more.

I'm 100% buying 2TB or more, 7200RPM and black one. Which ones are the most reliable? Also can someone suggest great silencing options for HDDs?

It would be cheaper to get 2 1TB ones.

Not where I live, WD black 1TB costs around 60€ whilst 2TB one costs 90€-100€

Hey there Eeglis,

 

I can suggest checking out WD Blue and WD Black drives as replacements as both work pretty good as main drives and deliver great performance. Here are links to both drives:

WD Blue: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=hrU4Wv

WD Black: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=8m45yU

 

Feel free to ask if you have any questions
