I am looking for a good 1tb storage drive that is dependable. I don't care to much if its fast or not as its just for media. I was also considering the seagate 1.5tb drive. Thx for any input. I originally was going to get the WD Green because of the price but seems like there are a lot of DOA's with these drives.

Dependable Storage drive.

Dependability of hard drives is quite difficult to gauge. My rule of thumb is to buy a preferred brand/model and try it out for a little while. It's either going to be DOA, fail soon after you start using it, or fail many years down the road (or with sudden trauma). There'll be some hard drive models that might have an unusually high failure rate, but generally most hard drives are more or less the same.
Of course, backups are the only way to ensure you don't loose any data if your hard drive crashes.

Go with the seagate 1.5tb drive, that is a beast and it's a helluva deal.
heh... I actually went ahead and ordered that before I saw your post.
