One of my current drives is a WD, it appears the partition on it is slightly flaky but apart from that, no problem. Much cooler than the Maxtor drives I have (which I would steer you away from - mine get too hot to touch).

My first two hard drives were Seagates - my 1GB one dating from ~1996 is still being used daily in a computer I built recently for a friend and a 4GB one from ~1998 is also still going strong. Given the average lifespan of a hard drive is supposed to be five years, I'd say that they're pretty good on the reliability stakes IMO [img]smile.gif[/img]
