I suggest going with the cheap one and investing the money you saved into a solid backup.

For quite some time now, Samsung drives have been more reliable than both WD and Seagate.

BTW, Caviar Greens spin at 5400 RPM, not 7200 RPM. Don't be misled by WD's confusing (deceptive?) "IntelliPower" markingspeak.
