Yep, you do.
Thats just on the obvious stuff, not the reliability.
In my opinion quiet is important, then cool runnning.
I use Samsungs for that reason.
Except in the sense that MTBF was never useful for picking reliable drives.
I avoid them myself, partly because the reliability isnt
great, and because of their stupid jumper config.
See how it shows in the storagereview reliability database.

The WDs are even more stupid with a different jumper
config for only drive on the cable and master of a pair.

They were very good, until the 75GXP hit the market. It seems
the newer Hitachi ones are fine too. The problem was IBM lying
about the issues.
