They both generate sample from uniform distribution, unifrnd offers a possibility to enter the parameters while with rand you need to adjust them, example of uniform distribution of interval [5,10] with size of 400 :
h1=unifrnd(5,10,1,400);
h2=5+5*rand(1,400); % same pdf

There is less error checking in rand, which can be at times preferred... For example, if you need to generated random numbers between a and b, and it doesn't matter if a > b.
a = 5
b = -5
Then:
a+(b-a)*rand(1,400)
But you'll need to make sure a and b are properly ordered for unifrnd:
if (b < a)
[a, b] = deal(b, a);
end
unifrnd(a,b,1,400)
Or else your result will be a vector of NaNs.
