What HDD should I buy from these 3?

[Nedelea Teodor Gabriel]

I want to buy a 1TB HDD(my 320GB one is...well...to small). I can buy one of these:
TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 (3.5, 1TB, 32MB, SATA III-600)
HDD WD Caviar Blue 1TB SATA3 64MB 7200RPM wd10ezex (3.5, 1TB, 64MB, SATA III-600).
or
HDD SATA3 6GB/S 1TB 7200RPM 64MB BARRACUDA ST1000DM003 SEAGATE

well, I put the description(in a way). The models are:
For Toshiba: DT01ACA100
For WD: wd10ezex (oh, and BTW, I heard bad things about WD's Caviar Blue)
For Seagate ST1000DM003.
So, what HDD should I choose from these 3? Thnaks!

I would go with the Seagate or WD. I've never heard anything bad about the WD Blue drives. They are typically an average performer and are well priced. I've used Seagate drives for years and have only had one person with a failure. I believe that was an issue with heat in a small PC over a years time. I've never really gone with Toshiba drives that often as I usually consider them OEM drives, but that is probably my own bias.

those 3 have the exact same price. And about Seagate...well, I have a 320 GB Seagate for about 5 years...no problems with it so, what should I get? the WD or Seagate?

 

[jay2tall]

flip a coin.... I'd probably buy the Seagate though since I've bought many in the past with good experiences.

hmmm...k, I'll think(and maybe I'll flip coin....well, If I had one near me, lol) and I'll tell you! Thanks

I have the Seagate ST1000DM003 and it has been a very good drive for me. Quiet, reliable and VERY fast, faster than the WD Blue.

soo, should I go with the seagate?

 

[Nedelea Teodor Gabriel]

I see it's faster, but it's reliable too? Not that I don't trust Seagate(damn, I have my current HDD for like 5 years)

Yes. The Seagate is reliable! Get the Seagate. You won't be disappointed.

I've done some research on the web and I found out that Seagate isn't that reliable and lots of people complain about it failing....so, what do you think?
