I'd love a 500GB, 7200 RPM drive, but they're not available yet. So, I'm considering the Seagate Momentus 7200.3 and the Hitachi 7K320.

Both drives are within $10 of each other at New Egg. My impression from online research is that the Seagate is quieter, though the Hitachi also gets good reviews.

Can anyone offer any personal experience to push me in favor of one or the other? Thanks!

The Seagate has a longer warranty. I would always recommend a Seagate if the cost difference was negligible.
