Thanks both for your replies.

Interesting, so are all 1.5 TB drives bad? Does it have something to do with the fact that they are not full terrabytes like 1 or 2? I know with ram it's better to have equal amounts. Sounds crazy but I thought I'd ask.

I need 2 drives. 1 to store onsite and one offsite. When purchasing a drive, can you tell me how to tell if a drive supports "Startup" so I can boot from it. Is there something in the specs that will tell me this. I'm on a mac and it seems most drivers are PC /Windows so its hard to tell if they will be bootable.
