[QUOTE="ara, post: 71408, member: 1336"] I have had a good run with WD drives with 1 falling out of 16 drives (1TB and 1.5TB drives). Each drive though have its issues. Like WD currently have a load cycle problem which can be fixed with one of their utilities (internal drives green drives that parks the head to often) A year ago Seagate had problems with drives being bricked left right and center that caused a big "scandal" on the internet. I lost like 4 out of 8 Samsung internal drives because of a bad batch of drives and probably bad transport I have not heard anything bad on Hitachi but they are so difficult to get in SA (anybody knows where to get them?) Moral of the story is to backup important stuff. HDD don't last forever :). [/QUOTE]
