[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 71389, member: 122"] And people could never understand why I would avoid WD like the plague. In around 2004 WD had a serious issue with their 120GB drives and we ended up having 28 replaced in the same storage cloud within 3 weeks. They denied any issue, unlike IBM did with their 80GB drives a few years before then. We haven't touched WD drives since. When Seagate had an issue with their 1TB 7200.11's, they brought out a firmware patch to resolve the issue, at least they addressing issues and not just being shtum. My current fav's are Seagate and Hitachi. In fact, we completed a 1100 drive array using 500GB Hitachi drives 2 years ago. We had 2 failures in the whole array so far. [/QUOTE]
