    Hi guys,

    I'm thinking of a hard disk upgrade and have a question.

    In general terms who offer the most reliable SATA hard disks between these two manufacturers - Western Digital or Seagate? I know there are other manufacturers but I just would like to know how these two compare thanks.

    Cheers

    Maybe I'm just lucky, I've Samsung, Seagate and Western Digital. They are all grand, no issues so far.

    No issues with Samsung, no major problems with WD, living hell with Seagate. They used to be teh win many many years ago but now its always one problem or another :rolleyes:

    For my 2 cents. Western Digital. Most reliable brand of Hard drive manufacturer around. At work previously, I had a stack of roughly 15 laptop hard drives all dead or dying, out of 15 - 10 were Toshiba branded drives, 2 Fujitsu Siemens, 2 Samsung and 1 Hitatchi.
    The failure rate for new 1tb + Samsung / Fujitsu Siemens drives is meant to be pretty bad also.

    I've had good drives from all of them. WD one external failed, Samsung one internal failed. No Seagate failures here (yet).
