There is a newer model the st2000dm006. I have used both seagate and western digital hard drives. I find that there is really no difference in performance. Never had any problems with them on any PC I owned.

Yeah, and it still has plenty of space…1.74TB after formatting it.
Man, you should've seen the amount of GB you WASTE with 3TB&4TB HDDs….it's a shame.

1.81 here too. Compliments my SSD.
Barracudas are my favorite storage drive, always fast and best value for money. The other HDDs in the price range of this bad boy were the same speed but had a lot less storage space. Brand names I guess
