yeah, I did say the 1TB WD drive is out of stock..

reliability and running cool/quiet is important

The WD is 1.5TB. A good alternative as posted above is the Samsung 1.5TB.

Another recommendation for the Samsung here. Using one in my main pc for my movies before i transfer them to my HTPC. Works really well , runs exceptionally cool. Great drive.
