Hybrid drive is only good when a process is repeated over an over again, it will provide a faster average over a random hard drive with a regular Cache.

It depends on your usage if you want best performance, WD 500GB Black is you option if you want to cut down power consumtion and your usage is for backup purpose, WD 500GB Green suits perfectly and if you have a medium range data usage then go for WD 500GB Blue

bro your PSU is enough to hold 4 of those drives :) ... besides WD20EZRX is from Green family and features "IntelliPower Technology" which is highly efficient in energy saving and since you will be using it for backup storage, there should not be any issue of performance either!

there is a thing with SATA interface called backward-compatibility as well as forward-compatibility, given your scenario WD20EZRX will work just fine without any jumper setting simply plug-n-play. In some cases where system board controller does not automatically communicate with a faster drive...

2TB is certainly available, just checked to make sure it does: Western Digital WD20NPVT "2TB 5400RPM SATA 2.5-inch" Check full specs at Western Digital website here: http://www.wd.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=1088&language=1

The difference is power consumption, and it goes parallel with you usage requirement! WD2002FYPS supports "IntelliPower Technology" which allows it to shift speed gear between idle and busy mode (5400 - 7200), which in turns logically reduces certain amount of average data retrieval speed but...

You might need an opinion from a storage professional or network specialist, I searched for Part Number ST2000DM001-1CH164 these guys might help you out in this one

I would prefer using ST31000528AS for OS that is primary and ST2000DL003 for secondary storage since its better and faster in data transfer!
