New Hard Drive - which?

[Mr. Gary]

Hi all,

Im looking at replacing a WD 400GB drive from my ICY NAS 4220.

going for a terabyte drive i think. i just cant decide which to go for. the ones ive whittled it down to are:

• Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB,
  
• Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB,
  
• Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB.

Any guidance / advice would be appriciated

Thanks,

Gary

If it's going in a NAS then outright speed isn't a factor and the WD is the cheapest of the 3 so I'd go with that.

I'd also go with the WD, due to low power consumption, low heat, lower rotational speed and thus likely longer life.
