If you have a drive that is acting weird, I would run a test on it. If it fails, get it replaced while its still under warranty. Western Digital has free software that will read every part of the disk. It can take 5-7 hours for a 2TB drive if its connected with SATA/eSATA.
I'd have to research the SATA compatibility issue. The manufacturers are using it, but I wouldn't pay more for a drive unless I was considering using in a multi disk RAID configuration or considering selling them down the road. 3GB = 300MB/s. Individual drives cannot pump that much data, and 2 drives in a striped config can't really do that either.
