    Other Hardware 1TB to 2TB HDD?

    I copy many Blu-ray movies. I want to try storing to a large HDD & copy to disc when needed. Please, add experienced comments.

    I want to add a HDD to my 120GB SSD equipped PC Desktop.

    Seagate or Western Digital; 1TB to 2TB 7200rpm 64mb cache

    SATA 3 GB or 6GB


    1st pick; Western Digital 1.5 TB Caviar Black SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64 MB
    I heard WD makes customer pay shipping.

    2nd pick; Seagate equivalent

    My new build has an SSD OS drive and two 2TB WD Caviar Blacks with 64MB cache. Model number is wd2001fass.

    I don't think it would be very easy to beat these disks. While I haven't run them for long I am very impressed so far.

      ...but the disks I have are 3gbps not 6. The model number for the 6 ends with faex I think. I'm not sure that there is much actual difference in performance once installed.

        HDD manufacturers

        PC Specs; socket 1066 cpu i7-950 ( I don't think 6Gbps is available using i7-950)

        I can not find a negative difference between;

        Are both HDD equal in performance and life?

        Both 2TB 7200 64 cache 6Gbps

        Western Digital BLACK;


        Seagate BARRACUDA;


        Seagate $130.00 & WD $200 +

          WD Black may have a better warranty.

            W.D. Black has a limited 5 year warranty.

            SEAGATE Barracuda is listed @ e-commerce sites as 1 year.
            I will know Monday 19th.

              It might be true that I may be limited to 3 Gbps with my socket 1066 CPU i7-950.
