[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 408039, member: 24160"] Wouldn't worry about it now Capt. Seagates are decent drives. You've noticed the boot time difference. But, for most things you will not be able to tell between the two of them unless you sit around timing them everytime you do something. And frankly, the difference isn't worth that much effort once you have 'em in your machine. Just purchased the 750GB Seagate myself after it went on sale the same day I was returning a 500GB WD model I ordered showed up DOA (it had been dropped in transit as the box was crushed on one corner). They're not so slow that I would recommend returning them once you have them ordered. And the 5 year warranty on their consumer drives are nice, although WD has the same on their enterprise class drives. Once you fill up those 4 drives and are looking for some external storage or a drive to use for an HTPC, those Seagates will work admirably. And then do a little research for the current speed king.
