How do the Toshiba's compare? They are $305 right now at New Egg. 5 year warranty, but I don't see data recovery included. I've (knock on wood) generally had good luck with Seagate drives.

On top of this, anyone using drives of this capacity should have some form of redundancy in place to handle 1 drive failure if not 2 simultaneously. I personally use Unraid to handle this requirement. My point with this is, from a reliability stand point, I don't see a point in spending more for high capacity enterprise drives versus buying regular consumer ones because the amount of failure prevention is such a small amount of percentage points and you should have redundancy anyway in the rare event that a failure occurs (I've only had 2 since 2008 on my personal NAS). Just save the money and put it towards other upgrades, failure redundancy, or storage expansion later down the road.

I've been trying to organize my media, and in terms of "organization" I've been getting better at it, but it terms of backup and redundancy, having the same data on two different computers failed me (one got corrupt and then copied over the other), so I'm completely befuddled trying to figure what storage options would work best for me.
