Yeah warranty is to be looked at....

Western Digital Passport 500GB @3.4k has 3-Yr warranty
Seagate FreeAgent GO 500GB @3.1k has 5-Yr warranty

so Seagate would be the better buy....

I do not know if this is a fact or not, but last month when i spoke to a Seagate customer care agent, i was informed that all hard disks purchased from the year 2010 carry a maximum warranty period of 3 years.

Kindly double check. :chinscratch:
