Depends on what you looking for? If it's performance, then western digital black.

Is it because of the unbeatable 5 years warentee?

What do you mean performance? Like the running, using data? that type of stuff? Well I'm more looking at about 500Gb ...

I switched to WD a few years ago, never looked back. Seagate's quality has dropped a bit in the last few years IMO.

Own both but have had 8WD failures vs 1 Seagate failure in the last 5 years.
+1 SEAGATE

I actually also heard about Segate dropping standards.. but before you changed to WD... were you with Segate?

Er troll? I've found Hitachi drives (ex IBM) to be better in reliability than Seagate and WD.

Nothing wrong with Seagate, but WD could give ya greater speeds.....

2x WD VelociRaptor (10000 rpm) in Raid0 kills my 2x seagates

Yes. First WD drive I bought was only because the seagate drives were out of stock at the supplier and I did not want to wait a week for stock to arrive. Since then its only been WD drives (latest drive I bought has been a WD 1TB Black edition, very happy ).

I don't think they offer the 5yr warranty any more. It's now 3yrs as far as I'm aware.

Samsung

1) Seagate
2) WD

I guess Segate is better.. (even if it has the same warentee time span?)

Samsung
