Hitachi / IBM make really good drives - yes, the Deskstar 40GP had some
flaws, but that was HOW MANY years ago?  I've never had one fail on me,
and the one that I found at work once in a box that had been killed by a
lightning strike was promptly replaced under warranty when I sent it in.

IBM *invented* the hard disc drive - I tend to trust their stuff (and by
extension, Hitachi) more than anything else (even Seagate) nowdays.
