DeathWarrior Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) The new graphics card I have has been working great so far! But I've also been thinking of getting a new hard drive sometime this year. I would want a reliable Serial ATA drive with at least 1TB of storage capacity. It must be a new one, I don't want to take chances with a used drive. Since this is something I'm not intending to do immediately the price range is a little bit more flexible, so list whatever you can find/recommend. I currently have a 250GB Maxtor 6y250m0 (I think it's a DiamondMax Plus 9). EDIT: This is an internal hard drive I'm considering.

buddah Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I am currently running 4, 1.5 tb western digital caviar black. had them for about 9months now with not problem, Primary drives are set in a raid 0 for speed, secondary (archive drives) in a raid 1 for security. Have not had a problem with any of them. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136592 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik005 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I completely agree with the person above me, the western digital caviar black is the best and fastest conventional harddrive. I own the 2tb version and am very happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellsMaster Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 what about toshiba? i got an awesome Toshiba HDD 1.5 TB and it works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant0 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 It may go without saying, but you should make sure that there is an open SATA slot on your motherboard, and an open mounting place in your case before buying another drive. Many store bought PCs do not have any open slots and only have mounting space for one drive. Although there are expansion cards that you can buy to have another SATA connection, you will still need a mounting point, and will still need a place to insert that card.

prandiningrat Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'm first time using WD brand, with green power feature(WD10EADS-00LB1) not black edition as posted above. I bought more than one year ago. the drive is fast but today starting clunk (like old HDD) thats very annoying especially when opening application, even only opening browser..if you consider buy WD, you can choose as posted above but you need stay away from WD like i have.I'm not only one getting this problem..
