Want to buy two new drives, one 1TB and one 2TB.
Planning on buying standard internal drives and caddies. Most probably this one based on previous conversations.

Most important are being quite and being reliable. Likely to be on 24/7 and heavy usage a lot of the time. Only going to be used through USB2.0 so huge speeds not a problem, any SATA2 will be more than sufficient.
Sure I've heard good things about Samsung Spinpoint. The 1TB F3 version a good one to go for? Nice and cheap, although that can be a bit of a worry.
Hitachi Deskstar or WD Green seem reasonable for the 2TB. Or is the Samsung worth waiting for? How long is "Due Soon" likely to mean?
