That means the hdd can die anytime soon. I suggest you to backup all the data asap

Hi guys,

I'm planning to get a 2TB 3.5 inch external HDD, but not sure which one should I get:

1. Just get a 2TB external (WD/Seagate/Buffalo) OR
2. Get WD Red NAS 2TB with Rock 3.5 inch external casing

I usually store HD movies in these external HDDs, so I believe WD Red is more suitable for me since I read reviews that it's suppose to have longer life span..right?

I've had a 1TB MyBook before, died after almost 3 years but luckily able to replace the HDD via warranty. My friends 1TB Passport also full of bad sectors after few months on usage..so kinda have a bad impression on WD HDDs sad.gif

Please advise. Thanks!

Both options are great
But I more prefer Option 2 with WD Green becoz its cheaper (Price 2TB Red = 3TB Green). Not sure about reliability, I guess its about luck
Note that WD Green have warranty 2 yrs, WD Red & WD MyBook 3 yrs
So take your pick
