| 1162891 | 2010-12-17 19:44:00 | I usually favour Seagate when buying one of these, based purely on relaibility. I seem to have a bad run with WD. Are Seagate still pretty reliable? Or have they been surpassed by another brand? Have WD improved and worth a look-in? Looking to buy, hence the question. It's been a while SATA drive for tower - not looking at SSD One final question - I see at 2000GB you have 2 speeds (5900 and 7200). Is the extra $100 worth it? Currently I have an older Seagate (750GB) that is 7200. Purpose is to hold music and movies for a HTPC |

| 1162893 | 2010-12-17 20:18:00 | WD are fine, I have changed from Seagates, as they were having bad run at one stage. The Black WD appear to be the ones to give problems if any, But then all HDD's can and do fail at some stage. |
