Hey All,
Just trying to get some opinions on these two Hard Drives. Western Digital: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136200 Seagate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148261 I like that the WD has a 16MB Cache.

If I were you I would stay away from WD until their quality control gets a lot better. I'm gonna either go with Samsung or Seagate for awhile myself. Stay away from Hitachi as well.

only $5 more then the ones you picked, plus its a seagate, 16mb cache, 250gb. It seems to have a good review record as well.
