Narrowing down seagate with

 

Seagate 2TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive (ST2000DM006)

 

or

 

Seagate 2TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 2.5-Inch 7mm Internal Hard Drive (ST2000LM015)

2nd one is a laptop drive.  get the first one. you realistically wont notice the difference on the cache
