okay guys i am in a big dilemma , about what hdd to get . i know the Seagates .11 series , but i did not find a hand to hand comparison with the seagate 750gb drives.
what inclines me towards the 750GB WD is its price 
- 6 K
and the seagate sells for around 6.7 k
well WD750 is much better IMO me gettin it tooā¦so get it if u want itā¦there is a BIG diff in 750 and 1 TB pricing lolā¦btw frm where ur gettin for 6k manā¦?
heheh , some contacts it is gonna be close to 6 k i am not sure . still it will be the best pricing . incase u also want we can go some time soon in this month and get our hands on it. just waiting for some people to pick up their verbs .
my luck :(i already bookd 1 from ferarri (yantraonline.in) nd gettin it for 6.3 approx why didnt u tell me before lol:XXXXX:) nyways if i get 1st then ill tell u how fast it isā¦
for 250, 320, 500 & 750GB I would buy Seagate 7200.10 (250) or 7200.11 (320, 500 & 750) currently 
I only like WD Raptor 150GB, WD6400AAKS 640GB & WD Caviar GP 1TB currently
6.3 k to your place vjam . then i might also go for it . whos gonna burn 200 bucks petrol + 100 bucks food at NP
Iād spend the extra 700 bucks for Seagate service and peace of mind
i think WD provide door to door service:)
wrong reason to avoid WD as 2 of my local friends one had WD 320GB & one had WD 500GB rmaāed their hddās & got back a new one in 5 days flat with free home pickup & delivery 
Seagate had taken 6 days to rma my 300GB in July 2006 without free home pickup & delivery
whereas Hitachi took 2 months to rma my 320GB without free home pickup & delivery 
for Samsung the lesser said the better 
Samsung & Hitachi Iām avoiding like plague from now on 
^ Yea, but your in Kolkatta, here in Goa, I doubt those WD guys will have an office even lol.
but you were telling ā200mphā to buy Seagate for peace of mind & service which I just said was a wrong reason as he is in New Delhi
the only reason to buy Seagate currently is Raw Speed
anish i think , its not with WD but its a tie up with a courier company that they have so unless u are in a place very remote it should not be a problem. and i am not worried about RMA . all i want to know is a good fast drive or not. coz the seagate is faster but by how much ? any one got a idea about it ??
on a side note a 640gb WD a good bet ? to wait for ?
^^dunno about that but you must ahve seen the thread in this section about the terrific seagate .11 NCQ performance
and seagate rma aint that badā¦i got replacement in 2 days in guwahatiā¦had to go to the service center though
@200mph ā WDās 750 GB Hard Disk Sets New Records | Tomās Hardware se this it was the fastest drive ā¦faster than the 1tb hitachiā¦
EDIT :1 more AnandTech: Western Digital SE16 750GB: āQuietā a Performer
ah , that is nice. i think then saving money is best option.
