FWIW I've had problems with WD and success with Seagate. My stratagy (if you can call it that) is to buy drives that are 'old fashioned', in other words mature technologies. This means they tend to be at the small end of the available size range.

I may well be mistaken, but I understood SCSI disks to be mechanically the same as the equivalent IDE drives. Perhaps the smarter SCSI electronics make the life of the mechanical parts easier. If not then why would they be better?
