The review is also good.
All the best
WD in the workstations, Seagate in the servers.
in order of preference (and yes, I run all those brands)
Seagate, Hitachi for 2.5" drives
Gotta love that 5 year warantee that comes with all Seagate drives.
I would choose price before brand between these two. I would consider Maxtor, but at the same price nada, and even slightly less, nada.
I *think* in my experience WDs are slightly quieter when seeking than Seagate, but then again I've also gotten a consistant higher tone wine at idle from a 320gb WD I have, so... I'm quite torn between the two. Since WD is the smaller company, with the fine raptor, I generally would choose them, but then again Seagate had the mammoth sized drives, and "NS" Enterprise Drives at that nice 750gb size. Seagate also has a factory here about 9 minutes from home, not that you would care, but it gets me thinking. Toughy.
I plan on sticking with seagate but I see western digital as a close second.---Maxtor--I have read to many posts about them failing to trust them even though seagate owns them now.
