My dead pile is full of WD, Seagate and Hitachi (used to be called the IBM Deathstar)
I just buy whatever Newegg has on sale and go with it. Plan on replacing every couple of years or at the first hint of trouble such as noise, clicking, hard to boot, etc.

Same thing here. Once upon a time the Seagate stuff was the best. Now it is all built with price as the main requirement. It is hard to find a drive smaller than 500 Gigs.
It is just amazing how cheap the hard drives have become. I bought a 500 MB (yes 500 meg not gig) Seagate drive at an employee price for a bargain of only 500 bucks. One dollar a meg. And 500 megs was a HUGE drive back then. The biggest drives were only one gig. We just bought several 2 TB drives that are the same physical size.
