IMHO, both seagate & WD are about equal. They leapfrog each other from year to year. The important thing to check is the length of warranty. At one time, they both offered either lifetime or 3 yr warranty on all their products, but that's in the past.

If the drives have fireware, etc connections, it'll simply be a nice touch. I plan to get Retrospect for software, so I only care about drive reliability and company support should _anything_ go wrong with the drive. I've had excellent mechanical success with both Seagate and Western Digital drives, and want to get list consensus as to which company has the better drive reliability record. I plan to stay away from LaCie and Maxtor. Thanks.
