I'm very quickly running out of space on my old 250GB Maxtor SATA-150. It's also not the fastest drive out there. I was originally going to buy a 750GB Samsung Spinpoint F1, mostly because they have a 32mb cache and are pretty cheap, but I read some rather negative reviews on newegg. Seems many of them are arriving DOA, crapping out within a few days or weeks, or having other strange issues.
I was thinking I might just fork out the dough for this Western Digital 1TB as I've always heard good things about WD, but is it worth it for $210?

I'm mostly concerned with reliabilty. I don't want a drive that's going to up and die on me. I've always used Maxtor in the past and had good luck with them (my current HDD is like 4 or 5 years old), but they're virtually non-existent these days. And yes, I really could use that much space. I have so much music, pronz, and games on my HDD it's ridiculous.
