Very seriously thinking about replacing all the WD MyBook Drives on my Desktop with one of these...

I just picked up one of the new 2 TB WD Essentials for 129. Price per gig 6 freakin' cents (actually 6.4). How can you go wrong?

I picked up two 2TB WD Green drives for $99 apiece shipped. deals off now but it just shows how prices are falling.

AWESOME deal on that Drobo! I just bought one used and love it.

I love my WD externals. a 500gb and a 1tb. I've been eying getting another 1tb now that they're under $50.

That's a great deal!  I'd definitely go for that, slim. 

I have 5 of them and they're very nice drives.

Best HD out there IMO for only $75. More expensive than the WD's but works way better.

i've had a few seagate drives fail after about a year...the last one i bought, (knowing it would fail) i got because it was wicked cheap, i needed the space bad, and they had it local.  within a year, it's health dropped to 62%.  that's just storage, not running any OS, and internal.  i put in a WD about a month after installing the seagate, and it's health is still at 100%.  the seagate runs a few degrees cooler, but who cares if they fail prematurely.

with the exception of that ^^ one, i only buy WD's now, been that way for years.  if you do buy a WD green drive and plan on using it for mounting your OS you will see some performance drop speedwise.  if you're just using it for storage of tunes and movies, its awesome. 

here's a small app to monitor your hdd health, been using it for awhile, it gives you the basics.
