Hey guys.
I need to grab some new HDD's and it's been a while, so I'm a little out of the loop.

I googled around a bit and it seemed like when the 3TB Barracudas (1TB per platter) came out, people were a little worried about their lifespan and the shorter warranty.

It's been nearly a year now, so how have those guys been in use?

Or should I grab some older models with smaller platters? WD Green? Something else?

I'm open to suggestions. The usage of these disks is going to be primarily just data storage.

I've been running a 3TB WD Green for almost a year now 24/7 as a media server drive with zero issues (no bad sectors, etc). Runs VERY quietly and cool, and a 2 year warranty. All drives manufactured now seem to have higher failure rates than they used to, so a backup drive is always a good idea, regardless of which drive maker you choose. The WD drives do have a 2 year warranty, compared to some of the others' one year. If it's cheap enough to buy a spare, I'd get 2 greens over a single anything.

WD Greens are great. They are the only drives I have that I never hear, and none of them have had a problem. Also you can put them in parts of the case with poor air flow and they still don't get hot.
