Is the newegg HD superior to the NCIX Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA3 for $89.99 and 10 mins from my house.

I would not say so. WD Green drives are the worst I have ever seen. They are slow and I have had many, many fail. (I did not buy them, they were there when I got there.

Possibly so, I've never had a WD Green, but every regular WD I've had going way back to the early PATA days when 120 MB was a big drive have been rock solid. OTOH I'm just sick of Seagates of all types. Just a few months ago I had a 1.5 TB Barracuda suddenly decide that its actual size was 0 bytes. It took almost 24 hours to rebuild everything from backups, not to mention the cost of its WD replacement. After a number of such events it was just the last straw.
