Thanks for the tip. I'm going for the 500Gb one so I hope it won't make problem.Have you read Google's article about hard drives?. It seems less frequent use is actually associated with an early death of a drive :-) (at least in some scenarios and use cases).

Watch out from them WD hard drives.
I had such a drive (the 320GB model) on my new machine and it crashed and died after two monthes of use.
Can’t even say it was used extensively as I was at India for most of this time…
