Alright, I've been thinking I want to add some storage to my machine lately, and I was wondering whether or not this seagate drive will be as good as it seems. There seems to be mixed reviews all over the place about it, so I'm really unsure about it, anyone else using it/used it? Any idea if it seems reliable enough? I was looking at a WD Black 3tb but it's nearly double the price. Would it be a better buy in the long run?
you might be better off getting a server grade drive. You could also do two 2tb drives if you need a lot of storage. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd30efrx

The drive is going to be used mostly for games/media, or if I go with 2 2tb, then one for games and another for media. Does that change the criteria very much?
