Storage Solutions 3.5" Internal HDD ... seagate or WD or any other?

[alive hunter]

My existing HDD 250Gb WD Blue (5 yrs old).. is not being detected by the bios.
Plaining to purchase a new one
3.5" HDD - 1 TB - Lowest cost and wht will be the max. warranty I can get.
Which brand should i go for ... Seagate or WD .. which one is more reliable ??

Online prices shows lots of variation: from Rs 3800 to 4500
(the ITDEPOT, THE ITEWARES, deltapage)

Can anyone tell me the actual market price in mumbai ?

are Toshiba HDD so gud??

also ..
it seems in mumbai laigton road..
WD Blue 1tb is on Shortage... Green is available ....
should i go for green .. or Wait for Blue...
or instead go for Seagate..???

 

[blackperl]

green is slow and mainly for storage and there is load unload cycle problem unless u fix the landing time of the head
seagate are fast but not reliable anymore
in my opinion, i finds the toshina/hitachi drives are best
here is my hdd
500 gb drive power on time is 1543 days

WD green sucks.
WD Black is the best but only if you can shell out that much amount....

I asuume you are a normal home user so go with WD Blue you wont regret ever. Or Hitachi as well.
