Hitachi.

The Hitachi certainly has more positive reviews... and I'm a bit worried about the couple DOA reviews for the Seagate... but... the Seagate has a 5-year warranty...

I prefer Hitachi for laptop drives. They seem to excel in that department. Will not use Hitachi 3.5" drives though. I prefer WD Raptors or Seagates for my desktop systems.

Have two dell laptops that I put newer drives in and both were Hitachi. No problems for last couple years.
