In general it's all a numbers game on hard drives. I guess now I've bought over a thousand or more and they simply fail at a relatively low rate in general. Western Digital's best drives are the Raptor series. Outside of that, Seagate makes some pretty good drives and I actually really like Hitachi. In general, you can always look for the 'raid edition' or 'enterprise' grade of the same drive in a different version, usually they are 10-15% more but include a better warranty and *might* actually be better drives.

Cheers,

Brad
