Seagate 500GB Sata Hard Drive (ST3500418AS) available for around 2.2k
It is a better bet than WD as this is a 7200RPM drive whereas the WD ones at this price range gets you only a 5400RPM one...

what will be the use of the HDD?, Data storage / Backup ?

I'll always suggest WD. Currently you have Seagate, how's its performance?
