Hello, I'm planning to build a new system soon and I was hoping to gather some opinions on which hard drives are good buys.

I had my eyes set on the Seagate 1 TBs but I as I read around I found out that there are a lot of duds from the 7200.11 and 7200.12 series.

What other HDs in the 500GB to 1 TB range are good reliable buys?
 
If you're looking for a OS drive, I recommend the Western Digital 640GB AALS Black drives. For storage, I recommend the WD 1TB EADS Green drives.

My exact thoughts

Tells us a lil more on what this will be used for.

I wasn't really thinking of buying more than one HD atm. I'm mostly planning to use the HD for gaming as well as storing large amounts of movie files. What are the ramifications of using only one large HD for all of this?
 
If you only need/ want one hdd then WD makes a 1tb black drive that is as fast as the 640.
That may be a good fit for you.
