This is bound to start a holy war similar to the vi (yeah!) vs. emacs
(boo!) one.  I have yet to find a HD manufacturer that everyone can
agree on.  Personally, I've had good experience with Maxtor for IDE
drives.  Also, IMHO, great people can make up for a failed drive.  I had
a Western Digital drive fail, and called in to get a replacement.  This
happened to be on my birthday.  I got the drive the next day, and it's
manufacturing date was my birthday.  So, I now have a WD drive that was
made on my 20th birthday. Besides, if anyone counts on a hard drive to
not fail, they're nuts.  We all know that HD's fail, regardless of
manufacturer.  This is (part of the reason) why we back things up.
