[QUOTE="pontiend, post: 919913, member: 275842"] This is a interesting and scarey thread I need two new drives for my nas box.The two 500 gig raid 1 drives are full. Instead of delleting the dross,and sorting the hundereds of dupliate photos.I have decided to install two 1 TB drives,and start again.Hitachi look the best but a bit pricey for me. I have three WD passports.All working well.Currys have 1TB WD drives that look the part 49.99 each.The NAS only gets turned on occasionally when I need it.Maybe once a week.I think that they will do for me. One of the scarry things mentioned is dirty shutdowns. To shutdown my DLINK-320 box I have to hold the power off,button untill it flashes,then wait for it to shut down.It take awhile,so I normaly switch it of at the socket.No dead drives ,And they are seagate barracuda Drives.:) Though with new 1 TB drives installed I will take more care shutting the box down. I notice that these WD drives are SATA 111.I presume that will not be a problem [/QUOTE]
