No guarantees with these things - backups and/or redundancy is a must. Still, I'd seriously consider one Barracuda over two Caviars. I've had so many Maxtor and WD "box models" die that I've lost count. Then there's the performance improvement. Caviars collect in my junk bin like so many... well, never mind the planned parenthood reference.
Not to complicate things but I have to agree with Dilbert.
