Hey to you all, I have an acer laptop 5742G, it has i5 processor, I inserted 8 GB of ram, recently I broke my HDD, which is a 5400 rpm 320 GB...

Now I can't decide, WD 2.5 inch scorpio black (500 GB, 7200 rpm and 16 mb cache) or Seagate with same specs... Now I am using WD 1TB external, it is quite fine, I know people has issues with Seagate externals, I know desktop Seagate HDDs have some issues but I heard that WD notebook HDDs have heat and noise issues...

What do you suggest? Should I buy Seagate or WD? Or something else entirely, like samsung???

Thank you...
