I have to agree with you. I do all the hardware support here at a small
college and not a week goes by that I don't have to replace a WD hard
drive. I applaud their diagnostics and the speed with which I recieve
replacements for warranteed hard drives, but it does seem to be an awful
frequent occurence. The people we buy our computers from use WD's  so I
don't have much say in the matter. I just built a new pc for myself and got
one of the new IBM drives. I would also like to hear of other users
experience with Western Digital drives.
