[Gajananvihari]

I have to buy new hard drive, but I am quite confused about it. One of my friend suggested me to buy hard drive of either WD Scorpio Blue or Seagate Momentus. But thing is that I am not able to decide which is the best hard driver for me among these two hard drives. I wonder if you provide some details regarding WD Scorpio Blue and Seagate Momentus, so that it will be helpful for me while selection hard drive.

The WD Scorpio Blue ShockGuard based technology to guard the surfaces of WD drive rollers alongside shocks. SecurePark WD puts the recording heads off the disk surface throughout spin up, spin down and the drive is off. This guarantee the recording head by no means touches the disk surface, resulting in superior long term consistency due to less wear and enhanced non-operational shock lenience.
