Had 2x 1TB Samsung F1 disks for a couple of years. Not missed a beat. I'd go for Samsung mate

at the minute i'd look at 1Tbs or 1.5Tb seem a lot more worth it at the moment seeing as 2Tb is nearly double the price of 1.5

As said before, run 2x1TB drives in raid 0.
I'd use either Western Dig or Seagate barracuda (sp?) drives
