Seagate 1.5 tb .11 drive for $120 shipped

OR

WD Green 1 TB drive for $100 shipped

I've heard the .11 drives from Seagate aren't that great, and have some issues. OTOH it's 1.5 TB for $120 shipped ($.08/gb).

The WD drive isn't a 7200 RPM drive, but is $20 cheaper/drive. It's $.10/gb though.

They are for an HTPC, so I am leaning 1.5 tb even with the issues. What should I spend money on? lol

Man stuff is cheap now! I remember £150 for a 80GB DEATHSTAR!

If you use promo code: EMCBBCJBH, you get another $5 off the 1TB drive, I just picked me up one ($94.99 shipped)

Ooooo nice.

That's even more tempting, especially since the WD Green drives are all over the place so easy to pick up some more...

Stay away from the Seagate 1.5TB for now, it seems to be suffering some issues

The only thing holding me back from the WD drives is that for 3 TB I spend $285, but the Seagate drives are only $240
