[citation][nom]GeekApproved[/nom]Garbage? Really? WD has been making hdd's for decades, offer the best warranties and I have NEVER personally had a failure. Wish I could say the same for Seagate. They can take their little 2yr warranty (oem) and stick up you know where.[/citation]
I won't say WD drives are garbage like the other guy, but my personal experience was bad with them. I had two 1TB external drives that failed unexpectedly and I lost all the data that was on them. While internal drives are good for WD, I don't like their external ones.
For Seagate, I've always loved Seagate. I personally haven't had a problem with them yet. But, that's not why I wanted to mention Seagate either. All the drives I've bought that are Seagate come with a 5 year warranty, so where are you buying them that they come with a 2 year?
All in all though, personal preference.
