They're comparable, I think the Seagate might be slightly better. Personally would choose a Samsung Spinpoint over either of them, that's comparable in quality to WD Caviar Black (but cheaper)
Actually, i feel whoever was telling u that, used to be unhealthy advised. I've had each WD, and Seagate. From the u can see the change between the 2. WD has the worst software viable, and each purchaser comment( me incorporated-has had nothing however problems with the WD) also, as soon as the 2 yr assurance expires, they conveniently discontinue working NOW, that apart, Seagate, is definitely owned with the aid of WD. However, Seagate is 10 occasions higher, with more friendly software, and does no longer brake down as quickly because the assurance expires. I have a 1.TB Seagate, and a 1TB( damaged down) WD. Additionally u have to comprehend that if u are watching to purchase a greater deal( like getting a 1.5TB) ur better off getting two 1.TB as a substitute, because the platform for the 1.5TB and greater, shouldn't be as steady, and in time it's going to begin crashing more and more until at some point, it's going to simply stop. Hope i helped a little bit

Both are good. Some people buy seagate and some others buy WD caviar blue.
Its a personal choice. They are almost same.
