I am always supporting seagate because of it's warranty. Seagate carries a 5 year warranty where as last I heard WD only gives you a year warranty with the option to purchase an extended warranty via their website.

I know that warranty doesn't really mean crap. You can by a set of Sears Craftsman tools with an unconditional lifetime warranty or you can by some cheap "Ho-Chi-Mon" tools from Harbor Frieght with the same warranty. I guarranty that you will be visiting Harbor Frieght alot more often. So warranty basically don't mean ****. (I actually use SnapOn, MAC, and Matco tools in my garage and use Craftsman and my cheap junkyard tools. Unlike some people, I do see the quality in professional tools and when you do as much as I do, Craftsman doesn't cut it.)

I usually base my opinions with experience. I have had a lot of luck with the Seagate drives and had nil with Maxtor. With WD, I sacrificed quality for the performance.
