I have 2 Seagates 500gb 7200.10 in RAID 1 and 2 Western Digital 500Gb AAK in RAID 1 on a DS3P Intel controller. I find,
The Seagates are much noisier than the WD
The WD's have a slightly faster avg speed in HD Tach, around 68mbs vs 63mbs
The Seagates have a faster burst speed, around 230mbs vs 210.
Having said this, I did have 2 x 320gb Seagate 7200.10 and they were whipser quiet, so I think I'm just unlucky with the 500gb one I got.
