Generally, does one brand offer greater value for the dollar? Is one brand known for a particular strength or weakness? Suppose that for $80 you had the choice of 1TB Hitachi 7200, Seagate Barracuda ES.2 250GB 7200, or the WD Caviar Black 640GB 7200 -- which would you select?

 

I suppose you really want to check out some "shootouts" for comparative assessments:

14 x 1TB SATA:

That should be a good starting place.

One of those linked had a 3yr warranty while all others had 5yrs and 1 only had 16MB Cache compared to 32MB Cache.

 

Can't speak for the W.D. or Hitachi brand equipment . . . or the specific Seagate drives listed here . . . but

. . . I have had very good luck with Seagate's Barracuda line of SATA drives (I now have five of them ranging from 80GB to 500GB. They have all performed flawlessly, a few under near continuous use. So I'd recommend this brand for reliability at the very least.

My next drive purchase will be a 1TB Seagate Barracuda drive, even if another brand has better specs overall.

 

Go for this one:
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drives - OEM

I personally only trust WD, and this drive is the best in the group in my opinion as it offers the same features as any of the other 1TB drives in the list, and it is mid-range price-wise in that list.

 

I like western digital drives. Never had one fail on me yet.
