It was a toss up between two cheap 2TB drives

 

 

2TB Western Digital Caviar Green 3.5" Hard Disk Drive - WD20EADS

and

 

Maxtor Barracuda LP Hard Disk Drive - ST32000542AS

I chose...

Maxtor Barracuda LP Hard Disk Drive - ST32000542AS

 

why? because is does not have the dreaded SLEEP mode... SLEEP mode needs time to spin up & that's not good in a quick reaction MEDIA PLAYER especially when you need the main MENU for movies.

 

 

 

Average DVD MOVIE (single layer image) 5GB, that means around 400 movies give or take for the OS & JUKEBOX MENU 4GB.....

 

 

BRAY / HD average seems to be 10-15GB in MKV format, around 130 movies, mix it up and you have around 200 MOVIES !!! on a 2 TB !!!!
