Which is the most reliable HDD and good VFM

[sudhanshu39]

Hi Please tell me which is the most reliable HDD and good VFM. I don't need much space. 160 / 240 / 320 GB is enough.

Both WD and seagate have a good track record, seagate 7200.11 had some problems, but is now sorted out in 7200.12. However, people still consider WD to be more reliable. So go for WD Blue which I suppose has 5 year warranty. Seagate has 5 years warranty.
All HDDs are similarly priced and the cost per GB is around Rs. 4.20 for 500 GB ones Rs. 3.40 for 1 TB ones, quite value for money. I'd say don't buy anything below 500 GB, they are much less vfm at cost per GB over Rs. 6

^^ i assume you forgotten to add "k" after those prices else OP will go crazy

no sam, read more carefully. I have written cost per GB (price divided by capacity of HDD in GB) because op not specified any budget. He just wants value for money.
