Which 1Tb drive?

Samsung Spinpoint F1
Or the
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11

There's no real difference in price, but the seagate has 2 more years on the warranty and appears faster. Is there any reason to get the F1 over it?

I`m sure out of the 1Tb drives, the Samsung Spinpoint F1 is the most preferred one, and is quieter and faster.

Quieter doesn't matter to me (Antec 900 drowns everything out). but faster? Looking at the OcUK pages, the Seagate has a faster seek time (Though those are the only speeds listed by OcUK, I know there's lots of others).

I've already got one 1Tb F1, so don't have a problem with getting another, I'm just curious about this.

I noticed also that Seagate 7200.11's lists faster seek time, but according to a lot of members here, the Spinpoint F1 is still the faster one out of the two. I`m sure other members here will reply if this correct or not.
