Hello
So my question is which of the 2 HDDs should I go for b/w these two:

WD Blue WD10EZEX 1 TB
(3.5K after Flipkart Rebate)
WD Blue WD10EZEX 1 TB Internal Hard Drive - WD: Flipkart.com

And
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB ST31000524AS
(4K after Flipkart rebate)
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (ST31000524AS) - Seagate: Flipkart.com

I dont really care about speeds as I know they both are entry level drives and have similar Read/Write speeds
WHAT I DO care about is Reliability , Life Span and After Sales Service

I live in Chandigarh.
In your opinion and experience which Company has a better After Sales Service?
Need to make the decision tonight before 9 so please help me out ASAP!
Thanks!

Get the WD one. It has 64 MB Cache compared to the 32 MB of the Seagate and WD services are generally better.
