Looking for a decent 1TB harddrive

What's a solid brand that goes for a fair price? I don't shite about the market on harddrives. All I have is a 225 GB SSD at the moment.

Desktop, laptop, or external? I would hope you aren't replacing the SSD but rather adding a hard drive.

It's hard to top WD for customer service. Overall, I've had slightly better luck with Seagate, on a reliability standpoint, but I've been on those 2 brands for years and years.
I had some IBM/Toshiba drives that failed way too early. They were 2 different sizes of the same model in 2 different computers. May be anecdotal, but it was a departure from WD and Seagate that I regretted.
Seagate owns Maxtor now, so those are the only 4 brands of HDD I know anything about.

1 TB WD Blue 7200rpm - best drive for the price for a basic consumer level user

The last 2 seagate drives I have purchased (one internal and one external) have failed me. I won't buy another hard drive from them to save my life. I'm in the market for one myself, just a matter of when, but I'll probably end up getting a WD.

I bought this one off Newegg on Cyber Monday. Hasn't given me any problems.

Sorry, it's for a desktop. Internal hard drive.and yes it will be supplementing the SSD.
Sounds like WD is getting the most praise?

Yeah, the WD Blue is pretty much the go-to consumer drive.

I actually only buy Western Digital HD's (Blue and Green) because I never have any problems with them.
Had a couple of Seagates go bad.
I have bought a ton of hard drives over the past few years..

This! Absolutely this!
I've even had great success buying WD drives off eBay for a tremendous discount.. No issues and still under warranty.

Speaking of, I had one for about 7 years that eventually failed on me, and every customer service person I spoke with told me you're supposed to change them every 2 years or so.

WD black. You'll never go back.

I've had great experience with WD Black in my desktops and Red in my servers.
Blue is probably what you want. Best price for what you get.
