Posted April 17, 2016 Hi LTT! As the title says i want to get a new HDD, and i know the comparison is like apples to apples, but I'm looking for the longest lifespan, the performance doesn't concern me THAT much since I have an SSD. So I'm getting one of these three: - WD Green 2TB 2 TB 5400rpm 64MB SATA3 - SEAGATE Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm 64MB SATA3 - TOSHIBA Desktop 2TB 7200rpm 64MB SATA3 I was going to get the seagate one for sure but then i just read how unreliable they are and stuff like that so if someone could confirm and tell me which one to get I'd be thankful. I was looking at the WD Blue, but doesn't come (at least in my place) in 2TB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are none at my place so I'm stuck with these three, and the WD Black but it's too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 17, 2016 Would get WD blacks if you budget will allowed. That 5 year warranty. Magical Pineapples
