Go with the Hitachi. Seagates are shit (gone through like six of them) and will break within 2 years. Hitachi has the lowest failure rate among ALL hard drive manufacturers and their speeds are good.

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

You will not get an advantage in choosing the 6Gb/s in normal day to day use except maybe for large file transfers. Reading reviews on harddrives isn't exactly helpful as harddrives can and do die all the time for some while other users are completely fine. Go for what's in your budget.

The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had.

Yea, but between those three, the Hitachi is the best. And Hitachi's failure rate is far lower than WD's anyways.

If there failure rate is so low and they are so good and so cheap, why the fuck does everyone run WD and Seagate drives. Dude if they were as good as you said they are WD wouldn't have to exist. But they suck balls in reality, just look at all the reviews from people say they had a drive fail, they are not more reliable then other drives, they are shit.

Seagate: Cheap. 

WD: Performace. 

Hitachi: Not the cheapest or fastest however they DO have the lowest failure rate. Don't go off a few Amazon reviews kid. Go by the statistics.

Look at the reviews of their consumer grade drives I personally have had 2 fail in the first month.

Amazon's reviews for the 1tb are far better than seagate's reviews. I will admit WD's reviews are far better, so I was 50% wrong. I tip my hat in defeat.

This is true Seagate drives do fail easily but they are fast for the price you pay, but WD blues are my favorite.

I have had a WD black 120gb and I installed a Black 1tb in my bro's rig. Both are still just as fast as the day I got them, and the 120gb is 7 years old.

I have a 500gb blue going strong after 5 years of use in my rig.

Impressive. Has it kept it's speeds up very well? My brother had a 1tb green that hardly loads even music after only 3 years (though that's the only bad experience I've ever had with WD.)

Yea still runs at great speeds, but greens suck after a while if you use them constantly especially if he was loading games off of it.
