within a year, the failure rate on the WD drives we sold at the computer store approached 100%. then, when i got RMA #'s, they shipped them back to me, without even opening the box. i never sold another one.
then there was the time i built a machine with a mirror set of WD drives. all the supplier i used had at the moment were WD drives. one failed within a week. then the other failed an hour after the first, meaning that they both failed within a week, and, despite a very good effort, all data was lost. luckily, the office wasn't yet up and running, so i was able to build a new mirror set, at home, and ship the drives for installation, which had removable bays. i used samsung drives.
samsung drives are not the fastest, but i rarely had one fail. i also like hitachi and maxtor.
then again, i am sure you are fine with the WD drive.
