I personally prefer the Western Digital 1TB.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

1.5/3Tb Barracuda is not the most reliable pick. 2 or 4 however is good.

should i get WD Blue 1tb or Seagate Barracuda 3tb?

seagate 2tb works amazingly for me

the 3tb is very, very likely to fail

woaaah, with the very's. It's not. It's more likely. But we don't even know anymore, Seagate had a remaster of all their drives recently, just don't buy the old one.

Can't say I can recommend either by the sound of it, you make it seem like they're the same price. And Seagate? I wouldn't recommend something I wouldn't buy.

 

My recommendations...

Yeah... Seeing a pattern? It's a rebranded HGST drive and it's consistently one of the best options in terms of price/GB.

toshiba gives me shivers. If they make their hard drives like they make their laptops I wouldn't even touch them. But I guess they don't.
