I think the warranty on the WD is 5 yrs and the Seagate is 3 yrs. Then you have to think about heat generation. I know that the unit has a fan but is is enough for the usage you are going to have with it. Other than that, I would go with the better deal that I could find. Hope that helps.

I will have my pics,movies and software saved for redundancy on both hdd and in the same time i will used to access media on my wireless home network. For that i need a good reliable hdd. So...I think i will go with WD BLACK! I hope the wd black will not overheat inside NAS ! Maybe later i will have a cpu dedicated only as a media player for my hd tv behinde my tv stand!
