Just looked around more and they are all $120.00

Just bought 1 SAMSUNG EcoGreen F4 HD204UI 2TB give it a shot!

Was a little concerned on it because of this thread!

But it seems they did really fix the issue.

Yes I saw that but its a 7200 RPM drive.... if you take a look. And I heard seagate's 5900 RPM drives require a little more juice and something else.

I have a mix of wd greens and hitachi, haven't had any issues so far.

I had a mix of WD and Seagate. Over the years, I had more problems with the Seagates and have since swapped them out for WD's (greens). I've been very happy.

I use 6 x Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB (ST2000DL003) in my server which runs 24/7. I bought them for $70 back in September before the great hard drive crisis. I use freenas though and I can imagine ZFS is a little more demanding then anything else.

I have a mix.
2TB Seagate ST2000DL003
2TB Seagate ST3200542AS
2TB WD Green WD20EARS
2TB Hitachi 5k3000

The hitachi runs the coolest.

2TB Hitachi 5k3000 5900 RPM are the best!!!! but so expensive this days!!!
