Help deciding which of these HDDs to pick [POLL]

[RPGWiZaRD]

I'm finally gonna replace my 4x300GB Maxtors after they've served me well for 4-6 years or so so I need at least 1.5TB so I narrowed it down to these 2 as I trust Samsung the most atm and just couldn't decide which of them to pick myself, I only really need it for storage so performance ain't that important, reliability/silence etc is more important. Since both are fairly differently priced I just couldn't decide which would be a better value for me. I'm not in huge need of extra space, I fill it rather slowly and already have like 1.2TB free. I know I'm looking at 3x500GB platter vs 3x667GB platter but like I said performance isn't really that important, the price is fairly important in this case tho. I already have a Samsung F2 1.5TB I'm happy with.

Can you create a poll? Many people would rather vote than say anything.

I would go with the Samsung HD204UI 2TB.

Edit: Voted, hard choice as both are 3 platters as a second thought I would get the 1.5TB for its price, that is 30% cheaper but less 25% storage. Nah I voted on the right candidate

i read somewhere earlier on (god knows where) that the spinpoint 1.5's dont like being in a raid????

although i'd like 4 of them in a raid 5

the 1.5TB are a beter bang for buck, but i picked the 2TB drives since you always run out of space.

and those goes both for hdd space and physical space (hdd bays)
get as high capacity drives as you can afford.

Just make sure u have adequate cooling for the harddrives.
I have 8 1TB drives and i found without modding my case they were getting to hot.
