good price for 1 TB internal hard drive?

[shadylane]

I'm buying a Drobo and getting 3-4 TB's of Hard Drive Space. What are some good reliable and cheap 1 TB Hard Drives to buy? I was looking at this....

It has bad review due to firmware update being only compatible with windows and not Linux and Mac OS X

I wouldn't buy a Seagate HDD, I've had a few and they've all failed after a year or 2. You should get this Western Digital drive. I have a few and they run perfectly and never had a problem. In my experience, its worth the extra few dollars for it.

I have to second Machoman. I actually bought one (external 1 TB) for $85 and then it basically died after 2 months. I am never going to buy a seagate again. I made my own 1 TB external case and it is working well.
