Jonathan Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Im in need of more storage and looking at a 2TB HDD. Can anyone recommend a product. Although well priced the Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache comes with mixed reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unrinoceronte Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I was also recently researching this , and these are the ones that where recommended and had good reviews: - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008YAHW6I/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3EZZIK7ASAMIT&coliid=I2V1S1G5FPGIF7 Maybe for your needs these is the one. Cheap and low energy consumption. Very large capacitys up to 4TB - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008JJLZ7G/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This one is more oriented to storage and being on 24/7. Very low energy consumption. - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004CSIG1G/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3EZZIK7ASAMIT&coliid=I2AOEGL0IAEFEE This one is more PERFORMANCE oriented. Faster drive. If it was just simple storage i would go with a Western Digital BLUE drive , but the largest capacity is only 1TB... Personally, and for none technical reasons, i prefer Western Digital Drives. I find their models and website easy to understand and compare. And besides they have very good reviews, at least i have found them to be more consistent than Seagate reviews... Take in mind that it depends where are you going to use it. Is it going to be a secondary HDD on your Workstation? Will it be used on a server or a NAS?, or will it be used as external storage using a dock or enclosure?
