I'm looking for a 1TB drive to put in my rig. I've been looking at these two.
Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drives - Internal Hard Drives
Newegg.com - Western Digital RE3 WD1002FBYS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives
Why is the second one so much more expensive?
I would be using the drive for data backup(music, songs, movies, documents, etc.) Eventually I will add another one and create a RAID 1 array with them.
Which of these two drives would you recommend or maybe a different drive?
The Seagate 1.5TB drive is tempting, but the firmware issues are scaring me. Any comments on that?
