[QUOTE="VAMountaineer, post: 1550587, member: 312336"] 1. be sure to get mfr warrnty.. and do a google lookup on their site with the drive serial# when you get it.. many sellers will sell off old stock to save a buck or three... OR sell grey market drives. you can look up most mfr warranty online.... 2 i'm a bit partial to SSHD (solid state hybrid), due to the speed bump/cost comparison.. it's 2-4x's faster than a conventional 7200rpm drive. and in my experience there is no reliability drop on it... all that said, more importantly than what you spend on the drive, what is your backup/timemachine setup??
