WD is my mainstay! Lets see, 2 in here, 2 in that one, 2 spare, that's 6 WD HDDs, some dated from 2000. Looks @ spare parts bin, yeap, there is 1 Seagate in the pile.
WD comes in 3 levels, intro: 1yr. builder: 3 yr, top of the line: 5 yr. Quiet, cool, humble and pretty high rated on any chart published by anybody.

Seagate, was in my first store bought rig, other than that I only have reading knowledge of them. Have read they create more spin up / spin down noise than others. Also, if your using windoze NTFS, have heard they are more susceptable to NTFS 'chatter', (clicking), than other drives. Me tinks "all" of their HDDs have a 5yr warranty.

Back in the dark days of DOS, and such, both were primier manufacturers.
