Barracuda is Seagate generic name for a series of products, doesn't help you making the decision. Rather, what's helpful is, HD these days are categorized as desktop, NAS, Security-Cams, Enterprise, Data Center, each one supposedly "tuned" to their particular usage, and also carry different warranties.

western digital is a great company. i have a wd 1tb hdd in my pc and it works great! i have also heard good things from the barracuda so either would be a good choice. the colors of the wd brand are like their "quality rating" blue is the budget version, i think green is the mid level, and black is their higher end.
