but if you want best and don't have specific budget...
wd green, black are good... best...
WD Caviar Green 2 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (WD20EZRX) - WD : Flipkart.com
= 5900 rs
WD 2 TB Black Desktop Internal Hard Drive (WD2002FAEX) - WD : Flipkart.com
= 10,300
Why is there price difference so much between these two?
Will how much capacity HDD I can have is based on my motherboard?
which motherboard you use..?
Intel® Desktop Board DG965RY
Ask [MENTION=293224]DK_WD[/MENTION] for any other info.
But going for WD black is the best option but your budget doesn't permit so. You can buy WD green .
Or WD purple for 1 year more warranty.
Can you give more details on this?You will not be able to use a drive larger than 2tb as the boot drive. If more space needed use HDD as a secondary drive.
Intel® Desktop Board DG965RY, supports 2 sata connectors, i guess (some shows 4 sata connectors, check your board.).. So can put upto 2 TB for primary and any size 3/4/5 on secondary..
With storage there's nothing to think or suggest bro, its always better if you go bigger. Only think when budget is a concern.
C drive.. Primary drive/primary partition (where you installed OS mostly)
D,E,F drives... Secondary Drive/secondary partition (normal drive where you put non-sense )
If you are buying 2TB no need to worry about this.. when you buy 3-4-5-6 etc and use entire large HDD as a single drive then you will face problem for using more than 2TB space...
because windows and boot, using the GPT files system, where as MBR has a drive size limit of 2.1 or 2.2TB. For more than 2tb do follow these steps.

So don't worry as of now. Buy 2TB only. I told you this because I thought you will install HDD, and will not partition the drive (C, D, E), So I told you this that primary partition supports upto 2TB..
I think seagate launched 3.5 8TB HDD
Amazon.com: Archive 8 TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive: Computers & Accessories
So you can use 8TB into 2,4,6 (depending upon your SATA Ports.)
correct me if I am wrong..
