Kniwor said:No doubt the Seagate HDD is better, the two drives u are referring to, Seagate ST3300601U2-RK and WD WDG1U3200, the Seagate HDD has a 16Mb cache, whereas the WD HDD has a 8Mb cache, I dont know How many here have actually Use WD HDD's but believe me The Seagate HDD will take less CPU usage too, it might be costlier, but this Seagate HDD is a better option in all respects. Though u might want to get ST3300601CB-RK instead of ST3300601U2-RK, it will be better.
I have got WD 16 MB cache arround 1.5 year back. No one was having that time other than western digital. If you say how many are using WD, I think, among the digitizers, it will be arround 80% because Digit has rated WD very high longback. Drives are very sturdy, low noise and in some cases matty black coated body.
Western Digital, Hitachi Deskstar, Maxtor, Seagate etc in order. You can have any one of them depending upon your personal preference but avoid samsung if you don't want to land up in service center every now & then.
