So I want 2 2 TB hardrives for a RAID for my new build. I have a SSD OS drive. I have narrowed it down to these basically on ratings/price.

I am buying two to setup in a raid to store movies/pictures/some games/etc. To me performance is not a huge factor since I have an SSD. Would you do a 59.99 Hitachi (after rebate) or a 79.99 Samsung. I have never had a HD die on me so the 1 egg ratings of the Hitachi vs the Samsung kinda concern me but most people are saying to get the Hitachi.
