i already have a WD 1 TB green hdd

should i buy .......
1. Seagate Barracuda 1 tb Rs 3900 through ebay
2. WD 1 tb EARS Rs 4250 through ebay
2. 1.5 tb wd eads Rs 5500
 
as per our reviews WD models are good in terms of quality & low failure rates as compared to Seagate 7200.11/12 models.Also models from Hitachi & Fujitsu will also equally performs as above.

we can name the fastest 1-terabyte drive in all our tests. It is the WD RE3 (WD1002FBYS). This is the best buy if you prefer maximum performance. But if you don’t like its high price, you can take the WD Caviar Black (WD1001FALS) which is somewhat slower but costs much less. The Hitachi Deskstar E7K1000 (HDE721010SLA330) is third in terms of sheer speed.

Also note that Seagate India reduced its warranty on internal hard disks from 5 years to 3years from this month in India.!!Soon others will also follow..............
 
final choice is wd 1 tb 64mb cache vs seagate 1 tb 7200.12

i have read seagate has much better performance
 
Seagate & WD both are good HDD. I have been using Seagate HDD from 2002 and i always stuck to it whenever i upgraded by RIG. Till now i never faced any issues with it. "Touch Wood"

However i just want to make a point that WD has a low failure rate when compared to Seagate.

In some of the models Seagate performed well than WD & vice versa. I dont think there is a comparison required. Its your ultimate choice on which drive to select.
 
Requirements?

Price per GB, the WD 1.5TB wins hands down. The drive performs well for mass storage.

Stick to WD - Seagate's warranty policy has gotten worse. Search the forums to know why!
 
WD black is a good performer, but after all the reviews I've gone through, it turns out that the Seagate 1TB and 500GB 7200.12 HDDs are among the fastest and best performing.

Grab it from AMARBIR, the price is awesome too.
