Western Digital has been ok, and I've had lousy luck with Quantum's fireball
series.  I too have been a Seagate fan.  Any trouble, I always have received
a replacement drive - no hassle, no questions, and usually a larger drive
exchanged in return.

Although at my University, it seems if you have a "hard drive plague" they
tend to be in batches.  Had a whole series of Seagate 2 gig drives go bad
once, but that seemed to be more an anomally.

Regards,
Dan

        Of all the components that I replace for people, Western Digital
hard
drives seem to be what I replace most often. I thought they made good hard
drives, but now I'm starting to wonder. I have probably installed 150 WD
hard drives in the past three years, and have replaced about a dozen (not
all of them were ones that I installed)
        Has anyone had better luck with another brand?
