The Seagates are quite suspectable to stiction (heads getting stuck to the platters). The Toshibas do not appear to have this problem, plus they're faster, quieter, put out less heat, and smaller. Need I go on? There is a down side to the Toshiba. It costs a little more. Seagates are virtually always the cheapest bet in town, but you pay for it by getting a less reliable drive.
