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

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.
