Which would be a more reliable, quiet Hard Drive:

Wetern Digital Caviar Blue 640GB WD6400AAKS
or
Samsung SpinPoint F1 750GB HD753LJ

Looking to buy 3 to put into New Drobo ?

Who has better tech Support , Warraty, Drive ?
 
Go for the WD 640. It's a great drive, very quite. I like it allot.
It should be very reliable as it only uses 2 320GB platters.
Wear as the spinpoint use 3 250GB platters. More platters
Means more chance of somthing going wrong.

Thanks RPALOALTO,

Took the plunge and went with the WD6400AAKS:
Chief Value had them for $ 93.08 ea. including tax & shipping after $4 coupon
