Inappropriate?Good question. I used to think Western Digital drives were better than Seagate, but Seagate has lately had a lot of new drives that are more Mac-friendly, for example.
I’m curious

Inappropriate?Well, around my area WD drives are way cheaper than Seagate (I have no clue why...lol...maybe I am closer to the factory...lol... ) and I have not had any problems with them on my Macs so far,well, except for one corrupted drive header(nothing I couldn't fix with some household apps).
My girlfriend on the other hand she lives and dies by the word of the "Seagates"... she recently upgraded her 120GB drive to a 250GB Momentus SATA

and she loves it, she says it is way faster than her old 120GB and it works wonderfully with Leopard.
Both companies are very well respected , they both have high quality products and if they have similar or equal products then all comes down to price (at least that's what I do all the time)

Inappropriate?I today bought a Seagate 500 GB external HDD as I am finally totally disappointed with my Western Digital My Book Premium ES Edition. See twitter.
I hope there will be no more (or worse!) problems with the Seagate.
And compared to the WD HDD, Seagate is surely cheaper! (At least today...)
Also you have to take after sales customer support into consideration.
Haven't heard anything from WD since I wrote them.
Don't know if this is funny or tragic. ;)
I’m with Seagate now!
