Which 1 TB hard disk you recomend between the Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX or the Seagate Barracuda ST1000?

I use both WD and Seagate for storage - I have a Blue Face WD10 EARS model, I've had that for about 7 years, I abuse it daily. On my other system, I bought a low-speed (5400 rpm?) Seagate ST1000DL - Which got some nasty reviews on Amazon - But I've had that for 2 years and no trouble, it's only for storage so I don't need the speed. I don't have any SATA3 HDD's at all, I don't have any motherboards that support it. I'll have to get an Add-on Card

They are both very good drives., and have the same 2 year warranty. About the only difference that I know of, is that the seagate drive is said to be an "energy saving" drive, where the western digital is said to be designed as a primary drive. If your going to use it as a storage only drive, and not for an operating system, then either one would be great. If you are going to load an operating system, I'd say go with the western digital. Unless one is way cheaper than the other. But really, you can't lose, and won't be disappointed with either drive. Good luck! ;)P.s, I just replaces my seagate 1TB, which lasted about 5years of continuous use, with another seagate, but a big ol' 2TB!

I have 3 westerns in my pc i havent had a seagate in awhile. I have a seagate external drive and its ran fan for like 7 years. So i would look up some reviews of both and see which one is best.

I've chosen Western Digital because of reliability. I've owned 4 WD drives: An 80GB, a 160GB, a 500GB, and this 1TB, and haven't had one of them fail on me. But as another user stated, WD sends just the drive itself. You'll have to download software, find screws, etc

I bought a Seagate 1tB about two years ago. I've had to have it replaces twice already and I'm looking for a third replacement. I still have a 150Gb WD drive that I bought nearly a decade ago. In my experience, I would go with the WD... I'm about to buy this one.

I have had ATA Seagate drives in the past that were fine; I'm very happy with the WD Blue, but I would go with the best price.

For years I have been purchasing both Seagate and Western Digital for system builds (they are the only two brands of mechanical hard drives I will use), although I have bought many more Seagate drives. The reason for that is because I seem to find better pricing on Seagate drives, which is the reason for my personal opinion: Go with whichever of the two has the best price per similar spec (transfer speed, cache size, etc.); they both manufacture high quality, dependable products that don't break the bank.

I'll be honest, I am a fan boy of Western Digital, and ASUS btw, but they don't make HD's. In the last few years, I've had more Seagate drives fail on me, than Western Digital. That being said, I am also hard on HD's, and being in Oklahoma, my PC runs real warm through half the year. I would def. go with the Blue WDEZEX for my money.

I only have experience with the Western Digital one, and it works fine once you use Acronis to format it. It's up to you. But, keep in mind if you do get the Western Digital one, they send the drive alone, no screws and no cables, just the drive.

In general , I prefer WD over Seagate. Personally, I have had more Seagate failures . The price is also very fair for the WD blue.

I bought the Hewlett Packard 15k sas drive not seagate. I wish I had bought that brand though

Western Digital is one of the best hard drives. I can tell you that I always buy western digital hd I have about 6 hard drives and only one failed but the great news is the kind of warranty about 1 to 3 years for replacement and that hd that failed I sent it to the warranty and they gave me a new one...

For this technical question I would go to www.seagate.com, and look at the technical specification chart for ST1000DX001 drive.

Yes. I switch between a 320gb WD passport and a 1tb Seagate GoFlex without any issue.

Zyxel lists two two 4 TB drives in their compatibility list: Western Digital WD4000FYYZ 4TB & Hitachi HDS724040ALE640 4TB. http://www.zyxel.com/ProductTab.shtml?pid=20091110160301&idx;=8&c;=gb&l;=en

Regardless - Go with WD or even Seagate. I have 5 portable drives (2 WD, 2 Seagate, 1 Toshiba) the Toshiba is the newest. I treat them all the same but the Toshiba is the only one crapping out on me in less than a year. Their laptops are KILLER though. It's possible that I just got a dud, but that's my current experience.

Assuming you are looking for a desktop hard drive, you should be able to use any Serial-ATA drive that will fit in a 3.5" bay compartment. Right now, the "sweet spot" for getting the most bang for the buck is a 2TB drive - http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Barracuda-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST2000DM001/dp/B005T3GRN2/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1403804113&sr=1-7

I bought these: Seagate Momentus 7200 750 GB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s 16 MB Cache 2.5 Inch Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive ST9750420ASThey're fast and work great so far after daily abuse with external Final Cut Pro, Aperture, Photoshop, and iTunes libraries. Connected via Thunderbolt it seems just as fast as an internal drive. At the time, earlier in 2013, these were the biggest, fastest drives available. There are bigger drives now with larger caches.

This works with any hard drive with a SATA interface. It should work with the Seagate Barracuda UltraATA drive.

please check what specific model of C710 you have. some comes with solid state drives and other may just be a SATA drive. The seagate drive in question is SATA 1 so if you have a higher bus speed then this drive will be a bottle neck for you.

The SE edition is better equipped for NAS units, and is TRIM-capable. Using a WD Black in a RAID array is likely to result in timeout errors, and array rebuilds. Otherwise, it's effectively the same drive - only the chipset is changed, not the platters themselves. If you just need bulk storage for a workstation, go with either one. However, if you need storage for a NAS and/or RAID array, the SE is a more effective bet.

I have the WDE1UBK10000N and it is a solid well built external! I don't think you can go wrong with the elements terabyte hdd!

Sorry, I can't find that info in my booklet. Try going to the Seagate website.

What i first got for the docking station was a Western Digital Green 2TB 3.5" HD & partitioned it in half - one side to use as a backup for my MacBook Pro & the other side as storage for music, movies & the like...works fine. Seagate also makes good HD's... you'll just have to shop around to find something suitable...1TB drives can be found 2nd hand for a very good price - just need to check it out first... got my 2TB for $50 from someone that moved up to a 4TB drive & just didn't need the other any more. Had brought the dock w/ me to check it out. May you find what you need...

It appears that the other hard drive has comparable specs. However it comes with a different firmware. Otherwise I think it is likely a matter of packaging and marketing.

I would go with the Seagate 1TB for the price. More space the better, and it is a very good price. I love Seagate drives, plus their DiscWizard in a great program.
