Looking at SATA harddrives and came across these 2, but which is best??

Seagate Barracuda 250gb 16MB Cache SATA2 7200
Western Digital Caviar 250gb 16MB Cache SATA2 7200

Western Digital is £5 cheaper.

Thanks

The Seagate has a 5 year warranty which is probably worth the £5. There won't be noticable difference in performance.

The choice is yours.
