IT question about which HDD to get?

[Sammyboy RSS Feed]

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

Currently I'm using a SSD drive as my boot up drive & have a couple of 1 TB HDDs daisy chained. Since I updated to the Win 64 bit OS, I have been considering getting a new 3TB or 4TB HDD to replace all my older 1TB drives. Probably save some electricity if I run just 1 HDD.

Which brand & capacity should I look at:confused:
The following are some of the current prices of HDDs:

Hitachi Enterprise (warranty 5Yrs) 2TB $210
HGST NAS 7200rpm (warranty 3Yrs) 3TB $179

WD Black 7200rpm (5Yrs) 2TB $185
WD Black 7200rpm (5Yrs) 3TB $237

WD Red Pro 7200rpm (5Yr) 2TB $198
WD Red Pro 7200rpm (5Yr) 3TB $238

WD 6TB Caviar Green 64MB (2+1 Yr).......338
WD 4TB Caviar RED NAS HDD (3 Yrs)......235
WD 6TB Caviar RED NAS HDD (3 Yrs)......375
