GoHardDrive.com has the White Label 1TB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive for $90 with free shipping. This a brand new drive covered by a 1-year warranty. They hint that it is a Western Digital Caviar GP WD10EACS. Just think of the joy you'll have when it finally fails. [BizRate]

    I have never seen White Label HDD.
    I guess this is OEM product. But, if it's WD, I'll pass.
    The price isn't so cheap too.

    So are WD notorious for dying out early? I had one for a few years now and it's still going strong. I was looking into getting another HD and what better than something with 1TB of space! Is this one worth the gamble?
    BTW the only problem I had with a HD was IBM....

    Here we are with 1TB drives and the only backup we have are 4.5GB DVD's. They still haven't even got DL DVDs to be reliable. The only reasonable alternative is to use redundant drives with a good warranty and swap them out when they fail. This "white label" crap-shoot is NOT the way to go.

    And I'll tell ye's, as the owner of five WD10EACS drives, this does not look like them.

    I have only owned WD and Seagate hard drives. My experience with WD were all good (mainly because they were only raptors) Because of my good experience with the previous 74gb raptor, I reinvested into two velociraptors 300gbx2 in raid 0. For my storage drives I bought them from my company, (they try to get rid of all the discontinued models)So i actually picked up 4x750gb (refurb) for $140 which is not bad at all.

    Why take the risk on a no name brand. Get the real thing.
