I am purchasing a second hard disk for laptop which I am going to install in place of dvd drive using a hdd caddy.
Of all the storage options only 1 tb drives are available. Samsung spinpoint 2 tb is available in amazon but it is costly (10k) hence out of range. Only other option greater than 1 tb is hgst travelstar 1.5 tb which was arount 6.5-7k last time I checked its price but now it is unavailable in most of the e-retailers. So I want to know that is there any way I can purchase that hgst 1.5 tb, or if not which is the best 1 tb drive available on the market right now. I will prefer reliability over performance, since even though I will get replacement drive, but I will lose all data. Please tell me which brand is better. WD, seagate, hitachi, toshiba and so on. I have already purchased hdd caddy, so will be purchasing hard drive within next few days.
