Seagate vs. Western Digital Hard Drives

[Jcomptech]

Which one is better? On Newegg, which I only shop from mostly, saw that Seagate HDDs have three eggs out of five on average. Now, I am leaning towards western digital Green HDDs, because of price and reputable brand. This may be all over the place but which brand is better for my next build?

I could follow my own desicions and go with WD but just wanna see some advice. If there is any reassurance on Seagate drives, I might go with them.

Any suggestions?

You'll get different answers from different people about that age-old question, based on their personal experiences.
For me, I now avoid Seagate brand altogether because four of their hard drives failed on me in the space of 18 months. Ditto with Maxtor drives which were crap even before Seagate took over the brand.

I now buy WD hard drives exclusively, much more reliable as far as I'm concerned.

Alright, thanks!
