Secondary Drive

[AthlonXP]

Looking for one to replace my 1TB Raptor. Was looking at either the WD3003FZEX or WD2003FZEX.

For 42 bucks more I can get an extra 1TB of storage, worth it? Also anyone have one of these drives and how well do they perform?

I would also consider HGST 7200 RPM desktop drives.

Which model would I look for?

HGST 3TB Deskstar 3.5" SATA Internal Hard Drive

make sure the description does not mention coolspin since coolspin is 5XXX rpm.

Only 3 year warranty, will that be an issue. Also heard the 4TB WD Blacks are the fastest 7200rpm drives out right now, would it be worth it going that route. I have a $25 gift card to Amazon I can use.
