I've always liked Seagate and that's what I'll use if I can. Now with the 7,200
RPM drives in the mainstream I like Seagate and IBM. Western Digital after those
two and it ends there since I don't like Maxtor at all.

Keep in mind that the more drives you install the more the odds of drives
failing.
