Out of the choices you indicated, I'd go for two of these. It kinda spreads the risk of losing data.

And according to WD website at least it says it has a 5 yr limited warranty so this is a good deal. It is $10 cheaper than the similar Seagate at leat at NewEgg

If you get that drive you're supposed to have more than one of them in a RAID array. Make sure you read my last post.

According to their FAQ, that's the best option to prevent data loss.
