Western Digital or Seagate
megido-rev.M:
Unless you're bombarding your equipment with dust piles or shaking it a lot, you're more likely to overheat the drive or cause a power surge than anything. Frankly, stuff like boards and chips can boast power-saving features, but mechanical devices should not.

^Well i usually don't do all this. I keep my hard disk in a cool clean area. :)
And also keep it from falling down.

Just an FYI, they're having a 15% off on all WD hard drives right now; it's gonna be over today.

^ This came down to 147 dollars within my cart, which is pretty much comparable to prices on this particular drive before they jacked them up to hell. If Samsung's F4 was still the price that it used to be, I would be buying the fuck out of it over this drive. Unfortunately, Seagate has turned it into crap, so that's not an option. This is pretty much the best thing on the market, and at 15% off its price is pretty much comparable to HGST's offering which is the only other thing that's even close to being worth a damn in the current HDD market.
Just a heads up.
Dhruv:
Black is a pretty good drive I must say. Can be used as an as an external after putting it in an enclosure. I don't need it right now though. And I am pretty much stuck on elements. I'd I don't get that drive I'll probably consider Black with an external enclosure.

curious to know why you consider seagate to be crap
also a black for an external is way overkill (unless your buying it for the warranty) and is its damn noisy.
since your set on the element just get it and be happy.
