Western digital caviar green 1tb or seagate barracuda 1tb ?

[barca_pwns]

Hey guys,
am doing a build in a few days, just still tossing up between a 1tb WD Caviar Green and a 1tb Seagate Barracuda.
The WD only spins at 5400rpm, but has a 64mb cache, but in comparison, the Seagate spins at 7200rpm, with only a 32mb cache.
Should i go for the higher spin rate or larger cache?

thanks guys

Larger cache.

But, I do prefer sea gate, that's what I use

never had a seagate before, just a WD, have you ever had problems with the seagate ?
im leaning towards the WD though cause the large cache. thanks for the help mate.

I have both drives. Even though the WD has a larger cache I notice no difference in speed/performance between the two. Get whichever one is cheaper.

 

[barca_pwns]

well they're both the same price, but i think im going to go with the WD, better experiences with it !

I would also recommend Seagate, I use them, and very reliable. Also has a higher spin rate which i think is one of the most important things, 32 isnt a bad cache to begin with either.

its a shame that i've ordered the WD already, but I'm sure itll be fine, receiving it tomorrow!
