Most reliable Hard Drive for Synology NAS?

[xp0z3d]

I am buying Synology 212j NAS (http://www.amazon.com/Synology-DiskStation-Diskless-Network-Attached/dp/B005YW7OLM/ref=pd_cp_pc_0) but confused what Hard Drive to get. As there are some like WD Red/Green/Black. or go with another brand but i have heard great things about WD.

And I am taking out Original Toshiba HD out of Macbook and replace it with SSD. So I was thinking of using that Toshiba in NAS as a Backup for Macbook through Time machine. But will I be able to install a 2.5" HD into NAS bays?

Last question is more towards sharing/Networking. I usually can access my WDTV (USB2 HD Attached to it) from my Macbook but when I try to access Macbook from WDTV it asks me username and password and no matter what I provide it always fails to connect. Any help?

Their RE series. Pricier, but great for 24/7 use.

do research in the HD section of Newegg

Thanks for HD suggestions.
And some answers for my question about not able to access Macbook over Network?

You can never do a quick HD poll, as they just die eventually. Everyone will have different experiences based on small sample sizes. I have personally lost 4-5 WD over the years including one in the past week. But I don't think they were any worse than any other brands.

But yes, if you want reliability you'll buy an enterprise drive.
