think hitachi is faster, so even when using purely for storage, should get this as many times, you may transfer data from other hdds or networks to this new 3TB hdd and faster speed is always appreciated. think you can get the 3TB hitachi or HGST easily for less than $179 so the price gap is almost negligible.

Don't think your motherboard supports 3TB. You better go to Gigabyte website to check for any BIOS update or utilities that enable their motherboards to support 3TB hard disk. As for what hard disk to get, recommended Hitachi ( 3yrs warranty) even though Toshiba is also actually a Hitachi OEM hdd but with shorter warranty ( 2 yrs ).
