640GB SATA2 HDD;

1.Western Digital=3,800-4,000/-

2.Seagate(640GB hard to find),
so, 500GB=2,800-3,200/-,
750GB=4,700-5,000/-

Sorry, no idea about laserjet.

P.S-All prices are from Kolkata, there should'nt be much difference in other parts of India.

My 500GB Seagate just failed after 1.5 months of moderate use, but then again many other forum members and some of my friends are using Seagate without any problem for years after years, my last HDD was also Seagate lasting till now after years of torture. So its your call.

But one thing for sure, Seagate has better support, replaced my HDD in 3 days.

No, both give 5 years for internal drives. In case of Seagate, you have to go to their service centre franchisee, Accel. WD collects the drive from you and delivers the replacement to you.

Obviously you're talking about the enterprise internal drives like RAPTOR, RAPTOR-X which cost a hell lot more, I'm talking about the normal desktop internal drives named CAVIER which has 3 yrs warranty. Check it out;*support.wdc.com/warranty/policy.asp?custtype=end&lang=en

P.S-Cavier Black is also costly and not available here, only Cavier Blues are available that carries 3 yrs warranty, my friend bought one and I'm sure of it, I personally checked the warranty from the site.

And also I've never heard of any company picking up products from the customer's houses and delivering replacements to them, is it available everywhere in India? Where do you file the RMA?

You can also file a RMA on Seagate drive and send Accel the drive, they will send you the replacement with the return paid. Accel replaced my drive in just 3 days.

You need to file Seagate RMA in your local Accel Frontline Center. I know the location of the Kolkata Center only. I don't know the address of the center in HELL
