I would like to extend my Acer Easystore h340 Windows Home Server. I am looking for a 2 TB harddrive.
Is there one you can recommand me?
Performance is not the primary requirement. I prefere noise level, energy efficience, reliability.

I have 2 of the WD EARS drives in my WHS server and they work well.
I bought jumpers from a local computer store for 10 cents each, plopped them in on pins 7 and 8, and that was it.
It's easier to find a deal on the EARS then its EAD counterpart, and works just as well. Either way though, just get a green friendly, somewhat slow drive.
I am able to have 3+ simultaneous streams on a single drive to xbmc systems across the house with no problems.
