Which one is best? for under $300?

I wouldn't, I would buy 4x250...

hitachi.

hitachi, watever

... just bought 2 western digital (1TB each) to replace a fucked up hdd ... I have them in RAID 1 ... I am not taking any chances....

:thumbsup

I have a WD Worldbook II and it has 2 x 500gb HDD's on a raid 1, it came in a nice WD case that has a fan to keep the drives cool . . . . I have it on our gigabit network switch as a NAS drive, the network port on the drives is gigabit ethernet, file transfers are soooo fast . . . very fuckin cool!

Im curious about this also. I want to upgrade a pair of HDs also.

Western Digital My Book Home Edition (1TB)

(but Google for more for version with eSATA connector)

Western Digital all the way.

Never had one fail on me yet.

i have 6 1tb seagate drives in this desktop, works fine

By two of whatever (Seagate, WD) and either RAID 1 them or make regular copies of the drive. (The WD I have is a 1TB, but it actually has two 500GB drives in it -- RAID 1 config).

1 TB is too much data to have on just one drive.

I've been using Western Digital exclusively for years now. I recently built a new machine with 5 1TB drives and I switched to Seagate because they had 32mb cache vs. WD's 16mb's.

Rock solid so far.
