- 8MB buffer vs 16MB buffer, but with the Seagate you get the 5 yr warranty. Hard decision. Not sure how much the increase in buffer makes.

OP's link is for an SATA drive, the Seagate above is PATA.

That Seagate is 1 generation old, and even among competitors in that generation, it had noticeably poorer performance.

The WD4000KD is a top performer among the newest drives.

I picked mine up from the egg for a couple bucks more since I was already placing an order for some other things.

Exactly, you cant compare apples to oranges.


The 400gb western digital drive is an absolutely amazing drive that never really gets the credit it deserves.


It is super fast, and a bargin for the price.
