Re: Seagate vs. Western Digital? Looking for drives
Our youngest daughter had her relatively new Compaq laptop\'s harddrive fail...Seagate (made in Singapore). I have a Western Digital 500GB MyBook, which is seldom powered on as it serves only as a data backup device...with under 1000 hours of powered on time, it suddenly decided to power up eratically and will not even spin up sometimes without dozens of power on/off cycles. Pick your poison.
With almost 25 years of history in computing, they are the only two harddrives I ever had fail.
