I want to buy a 2tb hdd with 2 yrs warranty or more.please suggest me reliable models.
Thanks in advance
AFAIK, for 2TB with 7200rpm, you have ONLY option is Seagate which is less reliable than WD (as ppl say).

Even I want a 2TB HDD as it has better price/gb ratio, but can not go with a device which is less reliable. And for HDD we have to EXTRA cautious as you may end up loosing your valuable data. So finally WD 1TB green is the option I'm looking for.

Blue 1TB is not available. You have to settle with Seagate then.

Or TOSHIBA 1TB is also another option.

Bro, please do not mislead, WD Blue 1TB is there with 7200rpm and 64MB cache. Best. But unfortunately WD do not have a 2TB of its blue version. WD 2GB are either black (too costly) or red/green(5200rpm-slow).

red is not just 5200rpm. it is based on IntelliPower. red 2tb is really faster than green. Western Digital Red 2TB review | Disk drives (hdd & ssd) Reviews | TechRadar

blue 1 tb is still available with dealers. some dealers do not stock it as it is costly than green and most prefers *lesser* costly one..

But red is NOT faster than blue (5200 vs 7200 rpm)

as i said earlier, it is not just 5200 rpm. its speed changes as it is based on intelli power. blue 2tb is not available. red 2 tb is close to blue 1tb in terms of performance. and makes the red VFM as we consider the prices. also red will last longer as it is mainly designed for NAS systems.
