New Hard Drive - Surf314 - 12-05-2013
I'm starting to run out of space and need to get a new hard drive. I'm thinking about getting a 1 or 2 TB hybrid drive. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Seagate or Western Digital. Don't bother with a hybrid drive.

I agree with this, Hybrid drives are only really useful for new compy builds, but they're still too new to be considered reliable.

WD Caviar Black.

Bought 4 between scar and I, never had one fail. Pricey though.

The blacks have a five year warranty.

Laptop or desktop?
Laptop I might even suggest the WD black[sup]2[/sup]. New thing came out were its a ssd and 1 tb hdd in one 2.5 form factor.
Desktop storage definitely WD black series. Also if you end up getting a black series, don't make the same mistake I made and order an older model. New versions model numbers have a 3 and not a 1 in the 6th spot.

On a weird side note, WD makes their 3.5" drives ~1/8" shorter then Seagate.
I know this because I have a drive bay which presses the drives onto a backplane... and it needed modifications for WD drives.
