[vampelle]

Need for med gaming PC, with using as storage files, heavy movies , streaming, torrents downloading n uploading around 12-14 hours daily.
No Gpu card, as I have no plan to add soon.

I'm getting both used, but with warranty.

This will be my c and d drive for time being until I buy 500gn then it will be my d drive only.

Hi there vampelle,

It seems that both drives have similar characteristics.(RPM, cache, etc.) So, you shouldn't really notice any performance difference. You can base your choice on warranty period and price.

It seems that the first drive is enterprise level one. It may be designed for more workload.

As both of these are used, it may be a good idea to check their status out first: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility
