Which 3TB internal hard drive?

Hi, just built a computer and its all working, just need to add a drive for storage as windows is on an SSD

These two are reasonably priced for the size, anyone know anything about these drives or which would be the better choice?

Western Digital 3Tb WD30EZRX - £***
Seagate 3TB Performance ST3000DM001 -£***

I would have gone for the Western Digital, though that's only personal preference to me.

Not sure what Seagates are like as I have never owned one.

WD for me all the time.

Id normally go for WD myself, ive never owned a Seagate drive.

I ask as my last 2 WD drives failed within a year.
