Built my rig back in April with a 2TB Hitachi Desktar. This is right around the time that some reviewers said their drives were giving out, so i'm looking to set up a drive for external backups.
I've had a lot of recommendations for Samsung's Spinpoint and WD's Caviar Blacks, the latter being pretty expensive at the moment.
Is there a specific brand of 5400 rpm drives that has had proven longevity, or is it still just a guessing game?
