given the increase in HDD failure rate. I would suggest to buy two 500Gb HDDs. cost would be around 5k for two and a difference of 500 bucks won't hurt!!!

yep. shouldn't be a problem. but do remember, if it crashes (like it does for many), you lose huge amount of data.

goin for 2 X 500 can cause a problem, as the power requirement for it will be more than single 1TB HDD

^^dude. it's a HDD, not a GPU. If you get Western Digital Green series HDDs, they will take much lower power than his existing dual HDDs.

btw, an always on HDD takes around 7 to 12 watts of power. which is totally negligible. I even had 4 -5 HDD running in my old machine sometimes which had a 450W PSU.

Western digital is fairly reliable. But cant say that about Seagate now. So WD green/blue/black just take your pick. Plus WD has 5 years warranty and Seagate only 3!

i think its better to buy two 500gb WD coz if one 500gb crashes you'll still have one 500gb and if 1Tb crashes you'll have none.....
