I say the Barracuda.

• Faster RPM
• Better £/GB

Thanks for the input...

Are these more reliable than the WD or vice versa?

I always had Sammys in my machine and I now know that Seagate took em over.. Are they as reliable?

Mechanical drives have been made by so long and by such large companies that the reliability is pretty much all equal - there are a lot of anecdotal evidence of people saying they prefer one over the other but i think it is negligible.
