Hi guys, have a few questions here.

I'm building a new rig and have been out of the hard drive game for awhile. I am curious as to what would be the best drive to use as an OS drive? I'd like it to be at least 500GB.

Also I was looking into a storage drive and wanted the 1TBs, but in reading about them, it seems many people think they fail (especially the seagate .11s).

Are there any reliable 1TBs out there? If not how about 750GBs and below? I have a lot of media and stuff.

Thanks for any help guys!
 
If getting a drive for storage, I would strongly recommend the Western Digital Green drives. They run cooler, quieter, and use less power. Ideal combination for storage.

For an OS drive, you may want something quicker such as the 500GB 7200.11 Seagate or the Western Digital Black.

Check out some websites (i.e. Newegg, DigerDirect, etc) because they've been having many deals on HDD as of late.
