Best 2Tb HDD

[PinkGecko]

On a PC with specs, would you replace the HDDS with something else? Or keep as is?

Inno 3D 1GIG GDDR5 GPU
16Gb DDR 3 1600Mhz Tracend RAM
750w PowerSupply
Core i7 -3820
Socket LGA 2011
SSD Western digital 250Gb SATA3 (runs OS and applications)
2x 2Tb Seagate Barracuda HDD (data only)

PC used for Pinnacle, Photoshop, sheetmusic software, Netflix. Used to game a lot but no time for that anymore.

One HDD failed so I need to decide wether to replace the failed Barracuda with another Barracuda, or to replace both with something else (2x other brand disks). Data mirroring essential.

I would get another Barracuda just for OCD purposes but it's not like you are running at 100% usage 24/7. Get the cheapest 2Tb drive from Seagate/WD/HGST.

I would go with some decent SSDs as they are more reliable than HDDs that's of course if you don't hammer them with writes.
