Hard Drive Brand Reliability Data
Giampy:
I've used a handful of WD drives and around half of them had problems a lot earlier than I was accustomed to.
Maybe it's a regional thing? More likely, just dumb luck.

Yesterday my WDC WD5000AAKX-00ERMAO passed away, after only 4 months of service.
RIP

I have never had a hard drive die on me yet, but recently had issues with one and decided to replace it...and it was a Hitachi:

My trusted technician has changed that hard disk for free. He has said that among 200 hard disks WDC WD5000AAKX-00ERMAO mine is the only one to get broken.
I care to say that as I don't want to put unjustly WD in a bad light.
brotman:
Has it occurred to anyone else that the failure data might be a bit skewed since the larger (e.g. 4 gb) models have been around for a shorter time than the others???
