SEAGATE BARRACUDA ES.2 1TB 32MB

The Seagate Barracuda ES.2 is an incredibly fast drive,it is also quiet. When idle you can hardly tell if the drive is even powered up or not. Under load, the drive was still quieter than most other drives. Another area where the drive excels is the amount of heat it generates- it is really cool.

While the Barracuda 7200.11 and ES.2 are almost identical drives, there are some important differences to highlight between them. For instance, the 7200.11 has a mean time between failure (MTBF) rating of 750,000 hours while the ES.2 boasts a superior and more server-oriented MTBF of 1.2 million hours. Essentially, this means the ES.2 should be a more reliable drive that is less likely to fail. Additionally, the ES.2 is designed with a much higher rotational vibration tolerance than the 7200.11, which is necessary for the ES.2 to maintain optimal performance when it is next to other drives in large storage arrays in server racks.

Samsung Spin Point F1 1TB Internal SATA Hard Drive

Like all 1TB drives, it offers 930GB of usable storage in NTFS. But while competitors use four or even five platters to make up their capacity, Samsung has managed to squeeze all that storage into just three 334GB platters. That translates to a far higher data density, meaning the heads can read and write more information in a shorter time. Its large 32MB cache enables the HD103UJ to deliver excellent performance, achieving read speeds of up to 124MB/s and a stellar burst speed of 237MB/s.

It is environmentally friendly too, drawing 7W of power while most competitors demand 9W. With low noise ( 23dBA while seeking) it is barely audible, making it an excellent choice for a media centre.
