    Alright, I'm looking to get a new harddrive to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on my good old XPS630i. Been on Vista for way too long.

    I'm looking to get a fairly high capacity drive. Something along the lines of 1TB/2TB since I have a mountain of games and a load of TV to store.
    So a solid state drive isn't really feasible for me right now but once I begin the complete overhaul of my PC in about 5/6 months time I'll almost certainly get one then.

    Any brands I should steer clear of for the high capacity drive? I keep seeing WD Caviar Green around but there are power saving and only run at 5400rpm.

    Anything to look out for? Suggestion for anything else?
