Hello,
to all of you.
I want to buy 4 TB External Hdd preferably desktop Version hdd, the confusion is that for which Brand should I go for? Should I go for WD MY BOOK or Should I go for Seagate? I've heard that WD is creating problems these days, although I've used the WD products.Please advice.Thank You.
Regards,

Hello
I've visited the local market, there they told me that WD hdd's media got corrupted very early compared to Seagate.Now, I don't know Is it right or not?

Never believe what the local market tells you.. you may go with either, would recommend WD though
