Hello guys,
I need a 2TB or 1.5TB HDD [both internal and external 3.5"] from either WD or Seagate. I need the internal one for both performance & storage and the external one for storage purposes with lesser failure rate. Are 2TB HDD's good? Do they fail often?

RAID 1 or Backup is only answer to reliablity..

Seagate 2TB have less failer rate...

For internal, look for WD black caviar which has 64MB cache and 7200 RPM. Cast is around Rs.4200.
