Should be just fine. The RED spins at 5400 and the Black 7200. For music only, I doubt if you could tell the difference. Gamers that compared them both noticed a difference, but their process is more demanding.

Do these Enterprise drives come with a "Cpt James T Kirk" certificate of excellence ?
(Sorry couldn't stop myself !!)
to a 2 year for the lesser designs. Enterprise are designed for 24/7 use and my data is worth that peace of mind.
The warranty doesn't cover replacement of data. If you have your data properly backed up then the only concern with a drive failure is downtime and time and cost of replacement and restoring your data. Another problem with hard drive warranty claims is that your proprietary data is on the disk even if the unit isn't functional. Worse, because it isn't functional there isn't any way for you to securely wipe the drive. For this reason, I would never consider returning a disk drive under warranty if it had any personal data on it I didn't want to see published.
If you don't have your data properly backed up you will lose it sooner or later regardless of the brand or model of disk. But then, maybe you work for the IRS and want to lose it. :-)

my data is all backed up both here at home and on 2 drives stored in two places away from home. The 3-5 years simply gives me more confidence that I have a lesser chance of failure and/or failure is simply pushed further into the future.
My 4TB drives are about out of room for more music on them and are both 5 years old....
Hence I will buy more room...
