guys...im thinking of getting 1.5tb HDDs for my htpc....mainly to store downloaded files... and they will be running 24/7 in my htpc/download rig.
ill be downloading into another 1tb drive... and extracting the rar files into the 1.5tb.
so the 1.5tb will only see minor writes... some reads and thats about it.
any suggested HDDs?
speed and low power consumption would be nice...

QUOTE(shinjite @ Aug 11 2010, 05:14 PM) Probably u can try the Spinpoint Eco Green HDDs QUOTE(SSJBen @ Aug 11 2010, 05:25 PM) EcoGreen F3EG? WD Green is alright too really. how good is the samsung 1.5tb hdd? hows the speed of these HDDs? i already have the wd green 1tb...and after about a year of heavy downloading...the HDD is super friggin slow now... if im extracting a rar file, itll practically cease all other writes in process...downloads will practically go to 0kbps and extraction will take forever.
