Maximum PC

Looking at a couple drives, wondered what thoughts might be. This drive will strictly be used for mass storage, mostly music and video (tv shows and movies) files.

Would you get this one:

Hitachi Deskstar 7k2000 2TB

Or this one:

WD Caviar Green 2TB

Or something else?

I'm leaning towards the Hitachi, largely because of the warranty.

Thanks.

Depends on what you mean by "a little more", but there is no economy of scale that I have seen in the bigger drive, and I think the 2TB will last me a pretty long time.

As for your suggestions, I had for many years been an exclusive Seagate man, but in recent years I've seen a real falling off in quality and reliability there, and the reduction of the warranty to only 1 year has not helped my uneasy with them. As for the Black, I'm sure it is a fine drive (I have a couple other model Blacks in my system now), but isn't that a little more performance than I really need for just storing and streaming media? I don't even see a 3TB Black on Newegg, do they exist?

Thanks for your response.
