Which external? Seagate or Western Digital?

hi guys

need an external hard disk for backing up PC and have decided to go for a 250Gb, but am undecided between the:

Seagate Value Line 250GB External USB 2.0 2MB Cache Hard Drive (HD-073-SE) - £82

and the

Western Digital WDG1U2500 MyBook Essential 250GB USB2.0 External Hard Drive (HD-083-WD) - £78

Both look like they do they same, but would appreciate anyone's thoughts.

Cheers

went ahead and order the WD MyBook at the weekend and it arrived yesterday.

very nice. quite small and very quiet. backed up 170Gb in just over an hour. not too bad.
