Can you recommend me a 1TB Internal Hard drive?

[TheBobcat]

I am looking to replace a 500GB hard drive that has packed up with a fast, and reliable 1TB one (3.5"). I would like the price to be around £40-£60. Can you recommend me manufacturers and models please.

Thanks guys, i want a long term solution. so i might stretch the money and go for a WD black. Is there certain models that are better than others?

The model ending in FZEX is the newest line of the WD Black drives. The WD1003FZEX is the 1TB edition. Its about 30% faster than the last model (sequential reads benchmark) mainly thanks to higher density platters.

The WD black comes with a 5 year warranty while the rest of the line comes with a 2 year. The 5 years is what made me purchase the black over blue.
