Hey guys my bro is just going to by a 500gb hdd from smcinternational in an hour, tell me which one will be a better buy wdc or seagate, in regard with performance. I have heard some issues with seagate 7200.11 hdd, so that's why confused. And tell me the exact price there.

They'll probably be similar in performance.

Buy the one that is cheaper :)

No, dnt get seagate 7200.11 drives. They have some issues. I dont remember it clearly though.
So, get a WDC Blue 500GB instead. Else if seagate 7200.12 500GB is available then u can surely go for it.

WDC or Seagate 7200.12.
Don't get any seagate 7200.11 drives.

Yup I knew seagate 7200.11 have some firmware issues so my bro bought a wdc blue 500gb @ rs1750.

You don't get 7200.11 rpm unless someone has old stocks :p.

Pick up 7200.12rpm Seagate drives. Avoid green edition WD drives.
