Poll: need help picking a internal HDD

[Wintermoot]

I,m going to switch PC,s in a few weeks and I,m looking for a new secondary HDD to replace my two 1TB ones my local electronics store sells the following brands is there any brand you recommend or should avoid?
I,m looking for high durability (IE not something that will break down after a year or two)
PS
I,m not joking I don,t know anything about HDD brands
PPS
It,s just for storage I think the primairy 1TB drive can handle all my programs.
here are all the types / brands they sell in the capicity I,m looking for :

Hitachi:
Desk Star
Ultra Star

Samsung:
Ecogreen

Seagate:
Barracuda

Western Digital:
Caviar Greenpower
Caviar Black
Green

For storage:
Seagate LP 2 TB green 5900 rpm (64 MB)/ Western Digital Caviar Green 2 TB

For more than just storage:
Seagate 2/3 TB constellation ES(/.2)/ Western Digital Caviar Black 2 TB

Seagate 2/3 TB constellation ES(/.2)/ Western Digital Caviar Black 2 TB

in that case I think I,ll go with the Seagate one.

Seagate has the best MTBF record of all the OEM's. So anything by them (especially if you splash out on an enterprise grade one) will be a good choice.

Depends on the model:

Ah yes, the old Barracuda's were an exception to that rule. Seagate has bought Samsung's HDD production division now, I hope they make something good in the future.

what about the newer ones? are they any good I don,t want to spend money on something that will break under a year.
