Hard drive : Which one to buy?

[abhinavjoshua]

Hi,
I am planning to buy a 2TB hard drive. On a limited budget, these two hard drives are making me a little confused.
First is WD's Caviar Green http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/internal-hard-drives/1296292/western-digital-caviar-green-2tb

Second is Seagate Barracuda http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/internal-hard-drives/1296271/seagate-barracuda-2tb

The reviews say WD is slightly better!

The prices are nearly same but which one's better in performance?

Wd caviar series is the best to go for.
Seagate is par with it but on a long run i would choose wd over it.

the wd black is way faster than the green one, but if you absolutly need 2tb then you either upgrade your budget or if you can live with 1 tb you get 1tb wd black. best hdd acording to alot of people.

I would recommend the Caviar black WD,pretty much fast, quiet and definitely price worth. If you're looking for speed and performance this is the one to go for. Good luck!
P.S: I own a 1tb Caviar Black and it never let me down.

The green would not make a good gaming drive if thats your intent; get the barracuda.
If its for storage, the green would get my recommend. Keep in mind its, roughly, a 5400rpm drive - not 7200 like the barracuda.
