Looking to get a larger storage drive and was probably going to go with the 2tb WDEARS but I guess the quality on that drive is lacking due to what people of said.

What is a better 2tb than the WD right now? Seagate is out.
 
i think the samsung ecogreen f3 is supposed to be pretty good. it has a 71% 5 egg rating at newegg whereas the wd20ears only has a 51% 5 egg rating. i have 2 wd20ears drives and so far havent had a single problem, but the ecogreens are the only other 2tb drive i would personally consider.
 
If you can the F4 should be out next month with 3 x 667GB platters instead of 4x 500GB ones. This should improve speed and lower power draw.

BTW, I have 2 WDC greens. Still kicking myself for not getting a third when they were $99 shipped two weeks ago from newegg.
 
Thanks. Now if I can get that one by the wife. I know she will want to know why I need the 5th new hard drive in 2 years.
 
Running 4 x 2TB EcoGreens here, love them so far. After that I would consider the 2TB WDEADS, or Hitachi if I needed a 7,200 RPM drive.

every time you take out a large sum from the ATM put $20 somewhere. private, wife-free cash fund.
 
I am liking the mess of 2tb 5900rpm Seagates I have in my home server.
 
I have had great success with samsung drives....

WD drives I have had medicore success. I have had 4 1TB drives die over a 2 year period. All WD green 1TB drives Not saying all will have the same issues, but atleast WD has faults RMA service.
 
one WD Green here 2 weeks old and bad sectors on it already, RMA this crap.

Going go wait for the F4's myself for my next buy.
