I have a purchase problem:
Should I stick to the IBM Deskstar 75GXP 30/20GB,
or the Seagate Barracuda ATA III 30/20GB, for the best performance? (I think the newer Seagate drive's selling at a higher price, but price doesn't matter)
Specs are here, look at the differences between media transfer rates and NO of discs:
(Note: The newer 20GB seagate drives seem to have a 20GB per platter density, over IBM's current 15GB per platter)
Seagate:

Help appreciated.
