You ever kissed a girl before?

Still counts

Humanity/Relativity, oka Exclusivity & Division, works according to Supply & Demand whereas Divinity/Reality is Sharing & Unity. As such, ALL human activity is about Me First & Last. So long as there is monopolistic tendencies, Supply & Demand [S&D] will be the patsy used for justifying everything Of Humanity, oka Of Frivolity & Nonsense.
This cannot last because S&D is about competition – unless Monopoly is ruling. A newish slant to this game is that in big business, monopoly is about The Gang and not so much The Kid. In a flash reminiscent of a Valid Flood, The HDD Gang of Four became The Gang of Two. WD has a valid excuse but Seagate has little. Afterall, someone gottas pay for The Samsung Baby purchase and pay they do with not only the price-jackoff but with the warranty roulette too. SSD was fingered to be a potential counterbalance but not when Seagate is eyeing OCZ. This Tentacle of The Bookie, Zer Chosen Vun, truly has zero limit. Aha, one may say, wouldn’t you like to be in their shoes.
People ought to ask themselves [and not others] the psyche behind “Infinitising” – the desire to be larger, and larger. Afterall, it does not take much to overtake the desire for whores, drugs and entertainment – not when a desire has no limit because it is a thought [of The Past] – the reason why “Recreation” then becomes the byword with newer and more fanciful ways of whoring, drugging and entertaining. It will never end because of that patsy, S&D.
After all the Pros & Cons, reducing the warranty period is the biggest visible sin of them all and yet, people are still advising, “Back Up’s yer Man”. The saviours’ way of justifying [their] worship[pers]. It is benevolent to remember that even that Tentacle of The Bookie, Quackery & Handler, is forced to parrot that Prevention is better than the cure. Couldn’t Seagate make a better drive, eh? Afterall, wouldn’t you’ll be selling ‘em like hotcakes and overwhelming the competition [What Competition?] should you have a drive which you could warranty for, say, 10 years, at the price of what the competition is selling?
Realise that the duty of The Bookie is to profit from Disagreement and once a disagreement is flowing, He’s gotcha. Everytime. Like, “Bakup” vs “What Backup?”, when the reality is, “Seagate, make a technically and financially better HDD”. ‘But why should I when you boyos are buying ‘em crapola like hotcakes?’. As such, “Evil” is not in others/another because A/The Stone [Dead] has neither Rhyme nor Reason for what it does, “Evil” is when you know you should not do eet but, “What the heck”, before unzipping yer fly. Watch out, though, because someone’s gottas pays fer the baby’s upkeep – unless Progeny is merely a patsy/word for one’s whoring, drugging and entertaining ways. Just like the Famous, Fortunate and the Immortalised and their “Black Babies” – ja, zer blicker, zer better fur Zer Final Photoshoot. Do not be[come] popular, be wise and soon, Infinitisers the likes of “Seagate” will have to play The Economies of Scale [EoS] Game and not The Monopolistic Game. Afterall, The EoS is being realised by the sweat and tears of those who sin is to be born somewhere where the sun seldom shines – only to afford the whoring, drugging and entertainment of The Monopolists – thereby driving The Bookie’s Agenda, perpetual enslavement for all, regardless of The Stupidity of The Pros or the Dumbness of The Cons.
Just wondered if you believe anyone will actually bother reading that?
Just Western Digital now, Samsung already bought by Seagate!

Oh that looks good thanks. Just finding internal drives like this are so much cheaper than externals of the same size that it may be better to get this and and inclosure.
This gets said every year. Back when we went from 500mb to 1.2gb it was the same war cry. There's twice the chance of a problem by running twice as many drives in your system.
Backup is the key to everything and having a duplicate of your stuff makes sense.

Probably a good strategy as it'll reduce the risk of both failing at once, like when light bulbs used to go in the house all about the same time because they were bought and fitted around the same time.

I thought I was bad, that is obsessive hoarding :p
Hope two of those are mirrored.
I have two of these whch are quiet, don't run hot and are quick to read and write.
With XP I would stick to 2TB drives as there are limitations/complications with drives greater than 2.2TB
