I like Seagate, but WD is not bad.

Maxtor now Seagate and WD.

My pre Seagate Maxtor's are over 10 years old...well over.

Had a Fuji fail in my laptop at 2 1/2 years.

Just about all my White Label drives have failed. I also had a WD fail
with 500 gig of good stuff on it. I like Hitachi and Samsung now.

I think its just six of one and half a dozen of the other. I've had two
Samsung 500Gb drives and two Samsung 19" LCD's fail - all in warranty.

I've had mostly WD and Seagate, probably about 8 of each over the past
decade. The only one I've had fail was a WD external SATA that ran
24/7 connected to a DVR. WD replaced it under warranty. I have two
Seagate Freeagent Pro 1 TB drives also running 24/7 with DVRs for 1
and 2 years respectively, and so far no problems. Internal 500 GB
Seagates have been problem-free, as have WD PATA drives of various
sizes.

These days I would be confident buying any major brand drive. I
recently bought a 1 TB Hitachi and a bit later a 1 TB Seagate...
because each was on sale at the time I needed the drive. The Hitachi
is in my computer and the Seagate installed "inside" the DVR.
