2T Working HDD to pair with OS SSD - Is there a better deal?

I've had a Seagate drive (replaced now by a Samsung 830 SSD) in my editing PC as my system drive for years. Not one problem.

I think with hard drive, it's just luck.
I've had a few that busted on me and they were different brands.

^^ Thanks Jason for letting me know that. I plan to pick up WD b/c a few peeps that I know told me to stay away from Seagate and Matox (spelling?)

You need new "peeps". Yours told you to avoid Maxtor, a company that hasn't existed since 2006.

Thank you all for helping!!!

I ordered this: http://www.newegg.com …aspx?Item=N82E1​6822136792

$199 - $30 discount = $169 = $12.xx TAX = $181.xx

I've used seagate, hitachi, samsung, western digital, etc and by far

WESTERN DIGITAL has worked wonderfully for me.

As previously stated, if the drive is going to be used as a 'working drive' go with the black. It is light years better performance than the green or any other line WD has (unless you go to the server grade ie RE4, etc, but $ goes way up)

Black is wonderful for working drives as they offer great performance. Yes, sadly with the whole harddrive crisis prices have nearly doubled. I paid 129$ for 2terabyte WD blacks just over a year ago. Now they're around 200$ ugh. Def sucks, but it is what it is.

If you are strictly using the drives as storage and not working off of them, go with the green. Though with this said, you can easily find the WD Green 3tb for around 160-170$
