WD green 2tb died. Need a reliable replacement.

[TheGamerZ]

My less than 2yr old WD EARS 2tb drive just bit the dust. Over 400 bad sectors. Not getting another one of those. My Sammy F3 and F4 2tb drives are still going strong.

What's reliable these days in the 2+ tb market? Haven't kept up with platter drives since the floods.

Forget price for a moment as long as they're not super expensive server drives.

yeah, it's meant for servers, but it's not too much more expensive than regular 2TB drives. 3 year warranty is much longer than the regular 1 year warranties offered with other WD /seagate models.

There's really only 2 players left: WD or Seagate. Pick your poison.
Hitachi drives are now branded as HGST (made by WD).

I've been purchasing my 3TB drives from nci x though.

$140 shipped for either WD Green or Seagate.

The Red is a good choice, and the new Toshiba 3.5" drives are a great choice as well.
