I'd like to upgrade the hard drive accompanying my 850 Pro, right now I'm using a Samsung Spinpoint F3. I'd like something that is at least 2 TB (preferably higher if there are any), reliable, and fast (at least as fast as my Spinpoint). What do you guys recommend?
Something you might want to look at when purchasing. I've owned all 3 and have never had an Hitachi die on me, the other two have...
Those charts are slewed because of the amount differences, and the usage area for those drives ie large scale storage/server use, which isn't the same as someone at home. Ive been using hard drives from most makers and models for the past 15 years and fact is that all drives fail, Ive seen WD drives die within the first day to last over a decade, On average all the seagates Ive used I get 5-7 years before issues.
It doesn't matter, it still shows the build quality. Keep in mind unless you have the time to compare 27,000 drives your opinion does very little here.

Need to read your own proof, it does prove build quality......
"Backblaze’s data may look like making your next drive a Hitachi is a no-brainer, but it's important to remember that Backblaze runs drives harder than the average PC user ever could. So while Seagate products may go down all the time at the company, a PC user may never notice a problem during the lifetime of their PC."
"Backblaze said it will stop buying Seagate LP 2TB drives and Western Digital Green 3TB drives, because they just don’t work in the company’s environment. Part of the problem, Backblaze says, is these drives are designed to spin down when not in use to save power. That’s a great feature for a home PC user, but in an industrial environment"
"Backblaze's earlier study showed that hard drives are actually pretty reliable overall over a four-year stretch, even in a server farm. And hey, a number of individual Seagate models actually had a longer average age than Hitachi products!"
