Which Drive is better?

dlam1233 · 07-17-2009, 09:55 AM

I'm trying to decide which hard drive to get for an upgrade to my MacBook Pro. It's between a Segate Momentus and a Western Digital Scopio Black. They are both 7200 rpm and pretty much exactly the same. Even the reviews on newegg were similar. I was just wondering which drive you guys have had a better experience with.

My personal preference is Seagate, but WD are just as good IMHO.
