I need you folks to help me decide on a internal HDD which will be going into a external USB 3.0 Icy Box. I am looking for performance and most importantly reliability as it will be holding some very important files.
I have been looking at the WD Green 1TB 64MB Cache but just saw this is 5400RPM and have read in other sites that the WD Blacks may not work in a external box due to power requirements
What are the Samsung F3s like in terms of reliability? I do see that they have great performance but I have never used any Samsung drives.
I would have looked into this myself but I have a lot of work to do on top of this and would appreciate your help.
I will be mainly using the drive for video work from Adobe Premiere on a Win 7 64-bit machine the final outputs will be backed up onto this drive.
