As to Western Digital drives, I've had great luck with them, and

Try with IBM or Quantum - they won't even deal with you unless you're an
OEM.

Is Fujitsu that bad?  I heard they're good on their warranty return policy,
unless
that changed - but I've had good luck on the few of their drives I've used.

Again, for Seagate, depends on the model - the ST3480 (I think that's it), I
hate
those - they fail when you least expect them...
