I like western digital with seagate as a close second. Disks are cheap enough that you should get 2 and back them up.<br />
<br />
Newegg.com has some great deals and usually free/fast shipping. Cyber monday is where it is at! Best of luck also for external 4TB costs about the same and for video you might just want to pay the few extra bucks as you run out of room faster than you think!<br />
<br />
Happy thanksgiving everyone!

with thanksgiving around the corner, planning to invest in some 2TB disks.<br />
<br />
can you suggest if there is any 'higher' quality disks you can go for external disks, more than the 'normal' ones.<br />
<br />
the goal is store many video files, for store/keep/use/reuse for web streaming site purpose.<br />
<br />
if I don't mind spending extra quality, can I still get them at amazon.com and the like or is there more specialized sites you would recommend for them?<br />
<br />
thanks.

quality in tb hard disk selection..

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
