PokerDegenerate Daemon Poster Messages 1,465 Feb 27, 2009 #3 yeah they both are really good and I believe that the WD is a little bit cheaper... I have a WD caviar 500 GB and it hasnt done me wrong and I also have a WD 1TB that hasn't given me any problems either.... IMHO I would go with whatever is cheaper and either one you will be happy with....

SuxoR What choice did I have?.. Messages 605 Location TX (Soon CA) Feb 27, 2009 #9 Barracuda sounds cooler so I'd go with it haha well if you had to use something on a choice basis
Captain Pooka Daemon Poster Messages 1,108 Feb 28, 2009 #10 I say if you live in the western US then go with Western Digital, you don't want to piss it off by living in the east! And the Barracuta sounds cold.. so go with that in a cold place. -Q
