I've been pondering whether I should leave Seagate. I've always been a fan of Seagate. Due to the bad reviews from many buyers about Seagate in the recent years, I'm debating about being loyal to WD.
What I encounter now is a problem. Since I love Seagae, it's really hard for me to decide whether it's good to go with WD.
The current WD that I find really good is the Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284
However by looking at the Seagate 1.5 tb 72000 rpm 32mb with $10 more than the WD above, I can get more space. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148337
Yet the Seagate 1tb http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148274 is cheaper than the WD if I was to go for a 1tb only.
But I value stability, especially this is a high amount of storage HDD. The WD has better ratings and reviews for stability than any Seagate.
What do you think I should do? And why is Seagate HDDs getting terrible? Is it because they took over Maxtor?
