i would basically get that has the longest warranty and the lowest price. if both are similar and the retailer is the same, flip a coin i say!

No major difference. It is totally your choice.

PS: Just remember to check if the cache sizes differ.

using 2 WDs and 1 seagate. both are good.

however, if you are buying from galaxy, then they have only mentioned "hand to hand replacement" for seagate HDDs only. not sure if they offer the same for WD or not, as its not mentioned on their website.

I'd say go with the one with the longest warranty period even with the price difference and all!

Hard drives fail. Period.
