whew... hard decision.

they both are good options. however... ive had more faults with WD.

Seagate has been a really reliable drive for me.

I have an old Macintosh g3 upgraded to a g4 that I use specifically for music out in my shop... it has three seagates that are about 10 years old that still run like the day I got em, never had a problem yet with em.
