I was a Maxtor devotee for many years, and I worked at an ISP that was setting up a multiple terrabyte NNTP box with dozens of raided Western Digital drives that kept failing. I stayed away from WD for a while because of this.
Then my Maxtor's started crapping out right and left. And I got a job where the head admin swore by WD. Haven't seen one die since.
Meanwhile I support half a dozen boxes running Seagate Barracuda's that were going just fine until some jackass dropped 'em.
Really is a mixed bag. Until everything goes Solid State, it'll continue to be methinks.
