currently ncix has a sale on both, $159.99 for the WD black, and $99 for the seagate.
Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB 64MB Cache 7200RPM 3.5IN SATA Internal Hard Drive OEM - Western Digital WD - WD2002FAEX
vs
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA3 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Drive - Seagate - ST2000DM001
Am I missing something? What does the WD black have over the Seagate model?
This is going to be used as an application drive & possibly a second drive for capturing HD video via my blackmagic design card, I'll have an SSD for the OS.
