2TB Internal HD Recommendation

[Dark Sun]

I'm after a 2TB internal HD to store movies, music and back ups of steam games.

Any recommendations? So far I have picked these three out.

Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB
Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB
Samsung SpinPoint F4 EcoGreen 2TB

Thanks for the help.

im getting the seagate myself this week

the WD requires an update if i understand it otherwise i would have gone for that, and not the samsung because personally im not keen on them

i think its just personal preference, except for the WD that has that head parking issue

[i love the way the term 'green' is used by all three!]

The Green drives do use around 60% of the energy of their 7200rpm counterparts but then they do spin slower.

You may need to fiddle with WDIdle to get around the parking issue with the WD drive but that's 5 minutes out of several years use. I went WD because they have a good reputation and because I have had several of their drives without a single issue.
