Well, it looks like I’ll be buying Seagate from now on. I just lost 300 gigs of work (non critical, thankfully), so I’m going to invest on a NAS with Seagate drives in RAID 5. This information is extremely helpful though, thank you very much for uploading.

Like he says: That’s not a fair judgement, since the market-share of WD is pretty high these days. Funny enough, my personal experience is that Seagate drives die on me most often.

I had 2 maxtors die, not able to spin up with a chirping noise. They replaced them, but with the same drive #!!!

I agree, I have a WD drive in this 2001 Dell 8200, although I did buy another WD drive, the old one I took out still works, and this one I have now, that replace that one is still working. And it’s 2008 folks, and I run my PC everyday to.
