Probably not because she's of the era that if one thing breaks okay, if two from the same manf. then no way would she go for it. But as it's a different name... >.<

See i have no objections to Samsung, or Seagate, Western Digital, or even really Hitatchi. a HDD is that, it fails or it doesn't. Doesn't always mean it's bad manufacturing, just that it's luck ran out.

I meant that Seagate has purchased the Samsung HDD division. Some may have their stories about Hitachi and Toshiba....so you are left with WD.

Which is really excessive space wise for her, but it's only a couple of quid more than the Toshiba. The 2 yr warranty will sound good to her too. As long as the smaller depth wont be an issue, which fwor has said should still match, I'll prolly recommend that to her.

Whilst I have no prejudice against certain manfs, I can only work on what the lady wants :D

There is no "smaller depth". It's a standard 9.5mm drive. Two year warranty is actually not that great.
