Which Laptop HD to go for (IDE)?

[Vageetasjn]

I'm looking at 160GB HDs in the price range of <$100. These are the two that catch my eye, so which way should I go?

Samsung: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16822152051
Hitachi: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16822145113

edit: just realized the hitachi is sata, so that's out. Well, is seagate worth the $30 jump? I'm doubting it is.

For the following reasons...?

Seagate quality and 5 year warranty.

Never used any other Hard Drives than Seagate.

Never had problems.
