[GTALUG] Which NAS harddisk? -- Seagate or Western Digital

Hi, 2 of my harddisks are failing, so I need to buy something fairly soon.  I haven't bought a harddisk for a long time.  Has Seagate improved their quality?  Or, should I go with Western Digital as I usually do? --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list h
