[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1449213, member: 38864"] Yeah, I've developed a pretty dim impression of Seagate's quality just from reading around. Well not to mention that the only drive that has ever failed on me was a Seagate GoFlex. WD seems to be on top of their game. Their Raptor line was cutting edge for speeds, spinning at an unheard of 15k rpm. Just a few days ago, I caught this interesting article: [url=http://www.electronista.com/articles/12/09/13/gas.replacement.lowers.drive.power.temperature/]WD aims for high-capacity helium-filled hard drives by 2013 | Electronista[/url] Increased capacity? Higher reliability? Lower temps? Faster speeds? Lower energy usage? Sounds too good to be true but it makes sense. I hope they do pull this off. [/QUOTE]
