I'm looking to store my games (from Steam) onto a high speed hard drive. Both are at 7200 RPM and both have 64MB of Cache.
The major difference is, at a Microcenter near my house, the Seagate has 2TB compared to the WD's 1TB. Obviously that's a lot of space for gaming, but obviously I plan on putting movies, music, pics and so on, too.
Which is better? I already have an SSD for boot, so this is for game loading, only. So, I would like to have a drive that reduces load times. I've heard nothing but good things about the Caviar Black, but the Barracuda's extra TB is pretty hard to ignore.
