Which 4TB would be better

[samiksome]

As the title suggests I just want to know which of these 4TB drives would be a better choice for my desktop. Its going to be primarily a storage drive and I already have my OS on a SSD.

HGST Deskstar 4TB

Seagate ST4000DM000 4TB

Pure specs wise the HGST Deskstar has a higher RPM so faster file load times.

Purely opinionated though I tend to side with Seagate just because their warranty program has always been very good for me.

At 4000rs less just go for the Seagate - the Hitachi/tosh is probably a slightly better drive but not worth that much extra.

Indeed the cost is the only reason i cannot decide which one to go with. As you said Seagate is Rs. 4000/- less, however, the specs and general reliability of HGST is better, also considering this is 4TB if the drive fails a lot of data will be gone... tough decision
