I was wondering which one is better ?
On their official sites I found that Seagate has transfer rate of 210MB/s and WD has transfer rate of 150MB/s....
So which one will be better? I think seagate? or what do you think?

Putting performance to one side for the moment, I have to say that for me at least, WD drives have been far more reliable than Seagate ones. All the Seagate drives I've bought over the past 6 to 8 years have all failed long before they should have.

Reliability is more important than performance as far as i'm concerned.

yes I agree that reliability is important but performance is also important...

I used a seagate barracuda 500GB HDD before and I had 2 external hdd of WD and Seagate... Both were equally good(as per me)....

But which would you prefer? WD? But its performance is low...

Hey I looked for 500GB HDDs and I found these two :

Both have high performance... Which one do you prefer... From the above two links I saw that WD has higher Data Transfer Rate than Seagate... So should I buy that?

Though all the drives are decent I would get this one: http://www.flipkart.com/wd-blue-wd10ezex-1-tb-internal-hard-drive/p/itmdhgfq4gzp72rw?pid=IHDDHGYBEFGHQRTQ&otracker=from-search&srno=t_2&query=internal+hard+drive&ref=d74a8bd2-6ed6-4b92-ac90-1865424fb146
the seagates have been known to begin making odd noises that sometimes gets mistaken for impending failure.

Tell me that WD Blue 1TB would have higher performance or WD Caviar Blue 500GB....??
