Hi,
I'm planning to replace my failing WDC HD. I'm wondering if I should go with Hitachi or Toshiba? according to backblaze.com, Hitachi is the one with least failure. My priority for a HDD is:
1. durability (least failure)
2. speed --> right now, I'm using 5400rpm, will use 7200rpm or above (if exists)
3. low power consumption
my usage is heavily for computer programming dev works, networking, and for entertainment (watch tons of TV shows and rarely play "medium-resource" games like Civilization 5 and XCom Enemy Within). my box runs 17 hours a day everyday including weekends.
thanks
